00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:08.359
Hello, Hello, it's me again. It's me again. Hello. Hello. Yes,

2
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.759
ities that was the worst jingle. Yeah, it didn't rhyme.

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.839
It sounded awful. Well. Actually, personally I thought this sounded

4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:26.440
quite nice, melodic but not harmonic. I don't know what

5
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:34.079
that means. So hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland

6
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:43.520
dot com. My name is Jason A new Land. Please

7
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:52.880
only listen, do mirice, it's my cardigan. Only listen when

8
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.119
you can safely close your eyes. A couple of quick

9
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:04.400
shout outs, one to kill Cleo. You sent me a

10
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:12.439
message via my website, I think, and somehow the message

11
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.799
has gone missing, and it was to do with I

12
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.959
think you're from China and you're telling me that it's

13
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.719
something that I read it, and I was half asleep

14
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.359
when I read it. I think I was in bed

15
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.799
and I read it, and I thought i'll read that

16
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.519
properly later, because sometimes I've read a message and I

17
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.159
don't get huge amounts of messages. Although you can send

18
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.680
me a personal message via my website if you want,

19
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:50.319
or on Facebook or whatever, mind it's not a good

20
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.120
advert because I might lose the message. But on this

21
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.079
occasion I lost a message, so I didn't get a

22
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.840
chance to reply, So I apologize to that. I apologize.

23
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:12.520
I'm apologizing to you. I apologize, and who I don't

24
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.680
know what else I was going to say. Well, I'll

25
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.439
start off, I went to an Uncle Auntie uncle sausages,

26
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.639
fair Well ceremony today. And don't worry, I'm not going

27
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.000
to be morbid or anything like that. I'm not going

28
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.599
to go through that stuff. But it was kind of weird,

29
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.639
you know, had to be done. It's a standard procedure

30
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.400
in our society here. And then I did do a

31
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.080
little video in a cemetery outside because I got there

32
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.159
quite earlier. I got there. I ordered a taxi yesterday

33
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:07.360
for eight thirty this morning, because I was going to

34
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.759
say the show started at nine point thirty. Not the show,

35
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.120
but the ceremony started at nine point thirty, so only

36
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.680
for fifteen minutes, if that ten minutes, fifteen minutes. I

37
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:25.159
think he's eating one of his treats. He's right off

38
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.639
his food at the moment. But I think that's because

39
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:33.439
I keep giving him treats, so it's kind of my

40
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:40.639
own fault. But hey, I just sometimes think that he

41
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.879
deserves treats, you know, I want him to be happy,

42
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.240
and I want him to, you know, do things he

43
00:03:51.360 --> 00:04:00.159
enjoys doing, and he enjoys chomping on his treats, just

44
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.400
to get a lot of pleasure from that. Now, I'm

45
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.520
not giving him just treats and no food. You know,

46
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:06.960
if he doesn't eat his food, then I won't give

47
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.039
him any treats until he starts seeing his food again.

48
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.639
But he's been off his food for a day or so.

49
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.439
But I had been given to some of my food,

50
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.560
which is just as good as the food he eats,

51
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.199
So technically he's not really not been eating. And he's

52
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.600
only a tiny little thing. He's the size of a parrot.

53
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.120
He's not the size of a parrot. In fact, parrot's

54
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.680
probably bigger than him. Parrots are big and the big

55
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.360
old things, right right, that's my impression of a parrot.

56
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.040
I didn't put a lot of effort into that. I'll

57
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.199
admit what it would sound like if I actually did

58
00:04:51.199 --> 00:05:00.959
put some effort in right, Okay, right, right, No, that

59
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.120
wasn't any better. So, yeah, So I ordered a taxi.

60
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:13.000
This is a secret, a secret. This is it's kind

61
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:19.079
of something I discovered about myself more recently. If I

62
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:27.199
order a taxi, the day before. It gets me out

63
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.800
of bed kind of forces me to get out of

64
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.720
bed because if a taxi turns up, I'm going to

65
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.439
have to pay with it. Then they take me where

66
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:44.079
I'm going or not. So it's just if I'm lying

67
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.759
in bed, which I do sometimes, that's probably the best

68
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.720
place to lie, isn't it? Or lay? What's the difference

69
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.439
between lying and laying because lying can also be telling

70
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:06.639
fipsk on it. Laying so getting getting lied to? So

71
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.160
getting lied that's being yeah, someone lying to you. But

72
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.720
there's no you don't get laid. I wait a minute,

73
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.319
get okay. But anyway, I was once something in the morning.

74
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.879
If I not have to be somewhere, it doesn't matter

75
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:29.680
what it is, where it is, or what it's for.

76
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.560
For some reason, I I struggle a little bit getting

77
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.240
out of bed, which is part of the reason why

78
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:43.439
I really really try not to make appointments, including just

79
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.040
meeting up with people, because once I make an appointment,

80
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.680
I start, for some reason, to be a bit fretty

81
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.240
about it. I'd be to just start thinking about it,

82
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:05.639
and I don't want to. That's my own issue. And

83
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.680
of course you know that I was that I didn't

84
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.600
want to go to this thing. I don't like them

85
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.399
or know what it likes them. Today, no one like

86
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.879
wakes up or looked at the weekend in their diary

87
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.519
and thinks, oh, what have I got any of them

88
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.360
things this month? Oh yeah, I've got one, got one

89
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:29.240
in two weeks. Yeah. No, you know, the goodbye ceremonies

90
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.079
are not something that anyone wants to really go to,

91
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.000
but it's it's important. I guess I think it's fairly important.

92
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.480
So anyway, I got up, got up this morning. I

93
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:53.480
set my alarm for six o'clock. I went to bed

94
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:58.639
about nine o'clock because I wanted to make sure that

95
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.079
I was you know, normally I don't sleep for like

96
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.759
twelve thirteen hours, but this would have been one of

97
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.920
the nights where I probably would, you know, I'd wake

98
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.759
up at half ten in the morning and feel so refreshed,

99
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:19.319
but then also think, oh, no, I've missed. I've missed

100
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:26.279
this event, which is important. So I wasn't going to

101
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.839
allow that to happen. So I set my alarm on

102
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.879
my phone. I don't have a clock. I don't have

103
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:35.960
one clock. I don't have a watch that I wear.

104
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.799
I do have two watches. That I don't wear, but

105
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.679
there were gifts, so I've kept them. I don't ever,

106
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.000
I don't have. I don't have a clock on the wall.

107
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:55.200
I don't have. I think you made a bit more noise,

108
00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:03.200
please thanks. I don't have a digital clock, you know,

109
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.759
like in the old days. I don't know if they

110
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:09.679
still make them. It's that one of them. How this

111
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.200
is how old I am? Right, I had a digital

112
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.559
clock that had pieces of card that used to flip over.

113
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.039
No lights or maybe a background light, but a little

114
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.480
piece of card that flipped over to change the time

115
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:32.799
from like two fifty nine till three. It's weird, I'm

116
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.440
explaining it, but just like on a spiral, I guess.

117
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:47.679
And yeah, that's going back a few years. I can't.

118
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.360
I'm trying to think when was the last time I

119
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.480
had an alarm, like a digital clock, so quite like

120
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.279
the radio ones, so the ones that had a radio one,

121
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.519
And I definitely had one when I was a kid,

122
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:13.960
when I was fourteen fifteen, that's for definite. I probably

123
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.600
had one earlier than that as well, but I definitely

124
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.360
had one then because I used to have paper rounds

125
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.960
and I also worked in a bakery. Sort. I've had

126
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.440
early starts. There's no way to got up without that,

127
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:35.360
without the alarm. And I remember, actually this was or

128
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.879
even going to school to be fair, even without the alarm.

129
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.200
Without even if I didn't have to get up early

130
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.000
and just gap at normal time, let's say seven or

131
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.519
seven thirty or whatever to get to be a school

132
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:57.360
for court to nine, I would still need my alarm.

133
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.240
You know. When I when I was very little, i'd

134
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.519
just get woken up. But this was the point where

135
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:07.240
I just kind of got up on my own. There

136
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.399
comes a time in every teenager's life when they don't

137
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.279
want anyone walking in the first thing in the morning.

138
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:23.080
It's yeah, no one likes being called tent boy, do they,

139
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:31.679
especially by the parents. So anyway, I went to went

140
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:36.919
to and oh, I remember once right, I woke up

141
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.200
to this song. This was when I was at school,

142
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.720
probably about eighty three, nineteen eighty three or nineteen eighty four,

143
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.840
one of them, but I'd say probably about nineteen eighty four,

144
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.440
maybe eighty five, but I'm going to say eighty four

145
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.960
as a guess. Everything's a guess, really, especially when it

146
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:07.039
comes to memory. Men. And I woke up to this

147
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.799
song that blew me away like because it would be

148
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.080
a radio station on I don't know what it was.

149
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:19.039
It was Radio one or who knows, I can't remember,

150
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.279
maybe just the local radio station. But I woke up

151
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:28.080
to this song, and for some reason, for about a week,

152
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.200
the same song was being played every time I woke up,

153
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.039
a bit like Groundhog Day, which in some ways my

154
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:42.679
whole was you could say my whole life is in

155
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.200
it in some ways. But at school it did seem

156
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.519
a little bit like that. Every day was like the

157
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.320
same getting up, the blah, doing this, doing that, same

158
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:57.039
kind of routine. But it was the same song. I

159
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.039
didn't think that it was the same day, you know.

160
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.840
I didn't like, oh no, I'm stuck in a time

161
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.279
loop or I didn't have that issue. I wasn't worried

162
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:16.200
about that. But I fell in love with this song,

163
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:25.559
and the song was dead ringer for love, Meet Loaf

164
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:36.440
and Share since I worded about my joy do do

165
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.120
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

166
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:44.799
Do Do Baby Baby Rock and roller Roofs roof do

167
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:52.480
do do you know what? I never ever, I've never

168
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:57.559
got done for copywriting, like for having a copyright music

169
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.759
in any of these recordings, like when it's on YouTube,

170
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.000
which means that none of my songs that I do

171
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:12.120
ever sound anything even similar to the original song. I

172
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.960
could live, I could sing you the whole a whole song,

173
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:19.639
Buddy Holly song that I'm memorized. I don't know why

174
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.720
I just did. It's a new thing I've been doing,

175
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.919
and no one didn't even know what I was like

176
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.080
always nice, what was it? But they might not say

177
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.200
that was nice? But I imagine people are saying nice things.

178
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.279
If you're going to imagine people are saying things, you

179
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.679
might as well why not imagine them saying nice things.

180
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:42.759
You know, it's the same things. Like if I'm going

181
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:48.159
to imagine people talking about me, then let them say

182
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.159
nice things about me. It's a different way to look

183
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:59.240
at things. People are planning. Maybe they're planning to give

184
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:08.039
me a surprise birthday party. Yeah, anyway, dead Ringer for Love.

185
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.519
I just couldn't get enough of it. I had not

186
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.360
seen the video at this point, so this was like, Okay,

187
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.159
I say all week, this was the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

188
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.679
Thursday morning. I'm partially making this up as I always do,

189
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.759
but you know, it was like the first four days

190
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:33.080
of the week at school. Thursday evening we had Top

191
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.639
of the Pops, which was on I do believe seven

192
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:41.200
thirty seven or seven thirty, and that was the one

193
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.559
time of the week. It was one of the most

194
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:51.919
important programs for you know, young people or anyone that

195
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.320
liked music. Really, I mean I watched Top of the

196
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.559
Pops from being a little kid all the way till

197
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:04.679
when they stopped showing it. You know, I was because

198
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.960
it was a good opportunity to see who was in

199
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.559
the charts, what was relevant, what people were listening to,

200
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.720
up to date music, which is a phrase I don't

201
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:23.600
before I'd say out loud, I'm way out of I'm

202
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.840
out of it completely now when it comes to music.

203
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.360
The thing is, I liked music in the two thousand's

204
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.960
twenty tens, just you know, I liked a lot of

205
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.200
new music that was out sort of ten years before

206
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.759
I moved here. I was watching video channels of music,

207
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.600
and I was up to date with all of the

208
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.720
latest music. It didn't stop me still loving the music

209
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.320
that I loved before. It didn't. You know, I didn't

210
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.399
like one new song I loved, didn't knock out another

211
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:06.000
song from the past. It didn't erase that song, you know,

212
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:17.839
But more recent years, i've kind of, yeah, I have tried.

213
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.599
I'm going to try again. I think it's easier with

214
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:28.119
the videos than it is listening by hearing a song

215
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.720
for the first time. I think it's more interesting to

216
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:41.599
see the video because there's more going on. I think

217
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.839
I know what I'm talking about. I think, yeah, I

218
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.640
think it is. It just makes it a bit more.

219
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.319
But then there's that repetition, the repetition of hearing the

220
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:54.359
same song over and over again, like on a radio.

221
00:17:54.759 --> 00:18:01.039
I remember, I don't know if I was did I

222
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.559
hear this on the radio or I don't know, but

223
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.559
it was I didn't like it, and it was Beyonce

224
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:17.559
Drunken Love and I heard that, and I'm thinking, if

225
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.880
I heard that on a radio, how did I hear

226
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.640
it on the radio? Because I don't even listen to

227
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.599
the radio, so I can't remember, you know, because a

228
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:33.079
few years ago, unless it was just a music video

229
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:39.319
thing that I was watching a music video channel and

230
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:46.480
I genuinely thought it was the biggest pile. I just

231
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:52.480
didn't The video is good, but I did not like

232
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.640
the song. I thought, this is not even cohesive, it's

233
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.519
all off killer it's this, it's not it's not a song,

234
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.759
it's not melodic. It's really just like what was going

235
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:16.039
on here? And then after hearing it a few times,

236
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:27.839
I really liked it. Urban Missings and missing I mean

237
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:35.440
I do. I've mentioned this before, but Beyonce, I mean,

238
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:45.599
she is what a phenomenal voice. I think the thing

239
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:50.160
is with her is she could have just as easily

240
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:58.000
gone on and done kind of the same type of

241
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:03.599
music or the same kind of I don't know what

242
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.720
the correct term is, but it's like Mariah Carey or

243
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:13.680
Whitney Houston or Celine Dion or that kind of like

244
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:20.720
Balladish because of her voice, how good her voice is.

245
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.119
And she would have been successful whatever she did. I

246
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.359
think she'd have been successful because she's got such a

247
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:36.599
great voice. But she chose to go a completely different way.

248
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.640
And I mean, as far as I don't know, she

249
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.160
writes all the songs or she co writes her songs,

250
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.839
but yeah, it's so many This wasn't supposed to be

251
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.480
about Beyonce. But what's that God I do with her?

252
00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.160
Uncle Banana's not Uncle Banana's uncle sausages. Sorry, that's what

253
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.920
one of the neighbors called him. Uncle Bananas banana man,

254
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:12.079
which one of the neighbors kids saw him on that

255
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.480
day before he went into hospital, and she started calling

256
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.599
a banana man from then on. But you know, she's

257
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:26.119
like nine years old, so I can't. It's this. Kids

258
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.960
are innocent and they kind of, you know, in that way.

259
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.559
She didn't. She did found it funny that he was.

260
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:35.880
Not funny that he was because no one knew it

261
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:37.519
was a little bit because he was a different color.

262
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.839
He was yellow, and she thought it was like he'd

263
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:55.400
been eating too many bananas or something like that. Anyway,

264
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.880
it was a lovely picture of him, uh in thing

265
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.880
today and he had this he was holding umbrella. And

266
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.079
it's really weird because you know, when you meet someone

267
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.599
when they're is it okay to say elderly someone when

268
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.519
they're seventy eight. Sebastian calls me elderly. Ten years ago

269
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:20.200
it was called elderly. But if you don't know Sebastian

270
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.440
is he's my arch enemy. He's listening to this right

271
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:30.559
now that this will make him smile. Blimey, finny. That

272
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:35.799
was really loud. Even I heard it. Even Uncle Sausages

273
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.200
heard it. Let's stop it, And so yeah, I was

274
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.119
you know, it's loud.

275
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:54.519
Wow, that that is really really noisy.

276
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:10.319
What was I saying, Beyonce? It was weird because she's

277
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.279
so glamorous. She's doing an award show and I think

278
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.839
she was singing on an award show, a big spectacular

279
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.720
maybe it was the Oscars or one of those kind

280
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:28.960
of places, and she's stared with this stunning dress. Not

281
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.880
that I really appreciate stunning dresses, but it was even

282
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:36.680
I could see it was. It was clearly a lot

283
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:43.559
of work put into getting dressed up, playing dress up.

284
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.519
So she looks probably like a billion dollars because she

285
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.559
is a billion dollar are and she but she yeah,

286
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.119
she looks. Imagine she took hours and hours and hours

287
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:01.039
and hours and hours getting ready for that aformance just

288
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.559
with the clothes, probably took a whole team of people

289
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:11.480
to put that together, because it was just it's quite

290
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:20.200
outrageously fab Anyway, she's singing. She comes out singing, and

291
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.400
all the audience are loving it, and the you know,

292
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:28.359
being watched by millions, maybe billions of people around the world,

293
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:33.920
this live event, and she's singing a song. Then it's

294
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.160
time for her husband to come on and accompany her

295
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:43.039
with one of her songs, jay Z and he pops

296
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.759
on and he eats sort of walks on in these

297
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:52.720
I don't know what he was wearing. There were kind

298
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.640
of like tracksuit bottoms that were half hanging down his bum,

299
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:05.319
and I don't know, he kind of she looked like

300
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:12.240
she was there. She looked like she was there to

301
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:18.839
basically be crowned a princess, like it was a royal wedding.

302
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:24.880
He looked like he'd lost his mop. He's like where

303
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.599
I left it somewhere, you know. It's just the way

304
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:34.720
he was dressed. On me. Not I dress bad, but

305
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:41.160
he probably everything he was wearing was probably one of

306
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.519
his socks, probably costs more than my entire life's earnings.

307
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:52.519
But I just did the biggest knees in the world

308
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.759
just then. Even then, he stopped and looked at me,

309
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.880
like normally he'll have a look and he'll carry on,

310
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.279
but this time he actually said, are you okay? You're right?

311
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:12.359
Do you need help? And I don't know why, but

312
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:16.240
it made me laugh. When I saw him come on stage.

313
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:19.880
He hopped on stage and it was like grabbing his

314
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:26.839
crotch and I, ah, I beat the Buddha bet And

315
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:33.319
then Beat the Buddha Birth, and I'm thinking, oh, I know,

316
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:42.039
because he's about seventy now, and I don't know. See,

317
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:48.400
I'm I used to love Eminem and Minim Minimum back

318
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.160
in the late nineties. You know, when he was I

319
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:57.319
would argue Says's peak was stand and you know that album.

320
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:04.160
Really liked that album a lot. I'm listening to one

321
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:11.599
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times. But he was

322
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:18.960
in his twenties and he was dressing like that. It's

323
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.759
now in his fifties and he's still dressing like that,

324
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:28.960
and I don't know. He had a song recently and

325
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:35.000
it was about basically getting Slimp Shady back or something

326
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:37.559
like in this light video where he's got him and

327
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.400
him when he was back in his twenties competing against

328
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:48.119
each other or something, and it's I mean, there's no rule.

329
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.440
It was like, okay, with someone in their fifties can't good. Clearly,

330
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.559
I'm an example of someone in their fifties that are

331
00:27:53.599 --> 00:28:00.839
pretty amazing, but dumb, dumb, dumb, you can't see me

332
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:09.920
if it's kind of like if I was, Yeah, I

333
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:11.839
think this is the thing I've got. There's an old

334
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:16.440
saying isn't it. You know, someone say, oh, you've got

335
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:19.960
a voice for radio. Well, I've got a face for radio.

336
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.359
It's you know, it's the best place. Although this isn't radio,

337
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.839
but this is the modern day version of radio in

338
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:31.759
a way, isn't it. It's just you choose your own show.

339
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.000
So instead of listening to me at nine o'clock in

340
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:43.400
the evening on a Friday night or whatever, you can

341
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:48.599
listen to me whenever you want. Yeah, and there's no

342
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:56.000
news bulletins, there's no music there. You know, it's better

343
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.640
in some ways, but also a lot worse in other ways.

344
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:07.720
Maybe maybe anyway, I think jay Z was all right.

345
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.599
I like some of his stuff. The stuff he did

346
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:19.000
with Eminem was good, but it just I don't know.

347
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:25.440
I think it's something about it would be because I

348
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:33.319
think when Eminem is like in his seventies, is he

349
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:38.359
still going to be is he still going to be

350
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:39.920
doing this? He is still going to be dyeing his

351
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.640
hair black, which he does now? And is he and

352
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.400
you can see as black and his bears black dyed?

353
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:54.440
Because you know he ain't. You just can tell. It's

354
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:58.119
weird the amount of people I see who have got

355
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:07.640
clearly jet black dyed beards. And you know how you

356
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:15.480
can tell because the beards are jet black. That's how

357
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:20.960
you can tell. Because generally anyone over the age of

358
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.599
thirty is going to have the odd gray I know

359
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:30.960
some people do like, you know, tweeze them out. I

360
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:34.759
used to do that. I did. It's amazing. I used

361
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:36.759
to do that at the front of my hair. And

362
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:39.519
someone said to me, you shouldn't do that. You've only

363
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:42.640
got a few gray hairs. Don't tweeze them out at

364
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:45.319
the front of your hair or the back of your

365
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:49.960
head because that park start to receive or go bald.

366
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:58.960
And I laughed at them. Who's laughing now? Not me? No,

367
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.279
I didn't, would you? Why would I? Why would I

368
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.880
tweeze their hairs in the back of my head? I

369
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:12.160
can't see them. It's really weird. Why would that part?

370
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:15.680
Because that's a part on the baby's head, isn't it.

371
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:19.559
That's the fragile part for the first few weeks or whatever.

372
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:31.559
So why why why would that part go bored anyone?

373
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:40.599
I reckon, I reckon. I'll probably I've still have hair

374
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.720
in ten years, I do believe. I don't mean just

375
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:50.400
at the sights because I don't. I kind of I

376
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:53.480
don't see the point in doing that myself personally, just

377
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.920
for me. If I'm going to be bored up as well,

378
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.319
just be bored if I'm going to shave my head head.

379
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.079
But then I'm starting to feel more attached to my

380
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:11.119
hair now that it's going. Now it's leaving me. It's

381
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:15.079
like at the end of a bad relationship. And I'm

382
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:18.599
not begging, Oh please, I can change, don't leave me.

383
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:23.400
I can change. I can start changing my underpants more

384
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:28.000
than once a month. I can change. You know. It's like,

385
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.680
but the hairs having none of it. No, we're leaving,

386
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:36.559
but they don't. But it's not a quick like a

387
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.960
quick leave, a quick gone. It's like we're going to

388
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:41.480
leave you, but we're going to spend years doing it.

389
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:48.400
Oh thanks. I've never really had any of those moments

390
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:51.920
where I've been washing my hair and like a big

391
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:59.960
amount comes out, thankfully. It's just it's like gradual, very gradual.

392
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:03.359
I mean, I know, I've had friends that had our

393
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:08.319
alopecia where just like clumps of coming out and it's

394
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.000
like I didn't know what the heck was going on.

395
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:18.480
And yeah, I had a friend a year, long time

396
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:28.279
ago he had alopecia, and back then they didn't know

397
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:30.759
what was causing it. I mean, I'm sure there's there's

398
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:33.200
not like a specific only one thing that can cause it.

399
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:40.240
But I know stress, and I know someone who's when

400
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:47.960
he changes his lifestyle, the alopecia stops. Right, That's all

401
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:49.960
I'm going to go into that. But he has a

402
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.799
certain lifestyle. When he changes that lifestyle, when he stops

403
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:59.559
doing what he's doing, is alopecia clears up. And some people,

404
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.440
if they get out of the stressful situation, that can

405
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.799
also help. But then there's other people that I think

406
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:14.480
perhaps there's no reason for it, there's no logical explanation.

407
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.079
I wonder, if I've got alopecia in the top of

408
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:25.480
my head, maybe that's just a temporary board spot and

409
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:36.760
it's going to grow back. I'm clutching it something, oh

410
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:43.639
guess what in my local fields. Then he got me walking.

411
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.199
He basically went to the end of the road because

412
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.440
I took him out. I took him out this morning

413
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:58.920
before going to Uncle's Sausages Farewell, and so that was

414
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:05.039
about six o'clock this morning. And then I had to

415
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.280
really like I didn't want to get ready. He didn't

416
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.079
want to go out, but I knew I had to

417
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:13.519
have this is afterwards. So I'm out in the park

418
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:17.199
at six come back light lights still at six in

419
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:26.079
the morning, which is good. And then about half past seven,

420
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:29.280
I go and have a shower. And as soon as

421
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.320
I get up and go in the bathroom and start

422
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:38.519
having a shower, Vinnie is very attentive to what I'm doing.

423
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.679
He's watching me. I can't see him watching me because

424
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.000
I'm in the shower and there's two doors closed, but

425
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:51.760
I know he's listening. I mean, technically I can't know

426
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:55.480
that he's listening, but just because I know him so well,

427
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:01.079
he's he seems to know when I'm going out, when

428
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:05.840
I'm getting ready to leaving. And no, it's not the

429
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.800
only time. It's not the only time I have a

430
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:12.280
shower is when I leave him, because that literally would

431
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.440
be five four four, three times a year, so I'm

432
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.920
not not quite that bad. But it's been more recently,

433
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:27.400
more often recently because of Uncle Sausages. Last week, I

434
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:33.360
had to go to to leave him Monday because I

435
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:37.760
had a doctor's appointment. I still not received the results

436
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:47.480
of the blood test, and then on previous to that.

437
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:55.559
The last time I went out was beginning of August.

438
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.400
So yes, it's been a while. But he started to

439
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.800
get used to me going out every day or every

440
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:06.519
every other day, and he didn't, you know, he kind

441
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.039
of got got used to it to the point where

442
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.519
he didn't like it. Still caused a bit of a fuss,

443
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:17.239
but he seemed to be accepted it. But now he's

444
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.119
gone back to his old ways where he will not

445
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.760
he would not put up with it, not even for

446
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:26.880
me just to go and put a rubbish bag into

447
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:33.800
the rubbish bin downstairs. I'm literally coming straight back. Then. Nope,

448
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:38.400
you know you're not. You're never coming back. I am.

449
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:41.360
So what I do is I leave the door open.

450
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.840
I don't. I'm not. I don't leave the front door open,

451
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.000
but I leave it so it doesn't close. You know,

452
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:49.519
Well that's open then, isn't it now? What I mean,

453
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.159
it's not wide open, it's not pushed open, it's not

454
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:59.639
kept open by a door opening device. It's but it's

455
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:02.920
kind of of there's a gap, a little gap so

456
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:05.599
you can hear me, so I can talk to him,

457
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:07.440
so if he barks, I can talk to him. As

458
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:12.559
I go downstairs, right, Vinnie, I'm just taking the first

459
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:17.360
step now and not leaving. I'm coming back. I'm halfway

460
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:20.559
down the stairs now, Vinnie. I'm coming back. I promise.

461
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:25.719
I'm near the bottom of the stairs now, Vinnie, Okay,

462
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:32.639
just calm down. And then I shouted to him, I'm

463
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:36.400
going out, ha, see you later, and I run off

464
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:43.280
and he doesn't like that. But he's quite cool, if

465
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:51.800
you can hear me. He's usually okay, usually, but today,

466
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.320
what was I talking about, Vinnie? For? Oh? Yeah, this

467
00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:00.159
morning I just couldn't but I was getting ready and

468
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:09.920
he he caused a fuss, such a fuss. I just

469
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:14.079
feel a little bit guilty leaving him because I know

470
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:19.639
how much he doesn't want me to. Well, I know, yeah,

471
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.519
he doesn't want me to, there's no question. I mean, yeah,

472
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.199
I don't know what's going on in his mind, and

473
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:30.360
I'm not. I can't. I've got no thermostat to check

474
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:41.719
his emotional levels. But I've spent well nearly three years

475
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.880
with him, twenty four hours a day pretty much, so

476
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:48.000
I've kind of got to know him pretty well. I

477
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:56.000
would say he don't like me leaving him, Yeah, I

478
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.880
think that's pretty certain to say that doesn't like me

479
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:04.880
leaving him. So I contended with that by I ordered

480
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:08.239
a taxi and I was getting ready. A taxi got

481
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:13.280
it early, so it was here about twenty past eight,

482
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.400
or maybe twenty three minutes past eight, but it was early,

483
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:25.039
but I thought, well, I'm ready, But I was still

484
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.440
doing the last few little bits, putting stuff into a

485
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:33.440
carrier bag and you know, things like that, make sure

486
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:37.840
I had a couple of bottles of water and had

487
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:46.119
my phone or else on my wallet. I always had

488
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:48.039
my keys because I have to. I always locked the

489
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:52.599
door if I leave, so I can't leave without my keys, unless,

490
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.559
of course, I mean if I lost my keys, and

491
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:58.800
I'd be in trouble. But it's not something generally that happens.

492
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.320
Or I did lose my wallet. I thought I lost

493
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:06.400
what Technically, I thought i'd lost my wallet because I

494
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:10.400
couldn't find it. But that is losing your wallet, isn't it.

495
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:15.639
Isn't that literally the literal meaning of losing something not

496
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:20.360
being able to find it. So I had indeed lost

497
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:28.079
my wallet, but I also hadn't lost it because it

498
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:32.960
was in here somewhere, and I did find it, but

499
00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:36.559
it took quite a bit of searching, and it was

500
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:40.760
underneath a bunch of paperwork. I think it was either

501
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.679
on that table over there or the other table, which

502
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.800
is meaningless because you can't see where I'm pointing, can you. Oh. Well,

503
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:55.039
but temporarily i'd lost it, and I didn't really think

504
00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:56.719
that I was going to have to find a bank.

505
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:02.480
Canceled the card. That's it, really, There's nothing really much

506
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:08.639
else in there my bus pass, I think that's it.

507
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:16.119
There's nothing else in there. There might have been ten

508
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:21.320
or twenty pound in cash. I think it's always handed

509
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:27.199
to other a little bit of cash for emergencies, just

510
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:32.719
because I had a problem before. This was during my

511
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:38.119
traveling to the hospital every day where the credit card

512
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.280
machine didn't work, or in the taxi, and I tried

513
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.920
it twice and it still didn't work. Luckily I had

514
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:49.079
I think I had about one hundred pounds in cash

515
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:52.119
in my wallet that I drawn out the day before

516
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:56.000
from a cash machine because I knew it was going

517
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:57.960
to be expensive. I was going to have to buy

518
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:03.639
stuff in the hospital, get drinks and food and stuff

519
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:08.719
for me and Uncle, sausages. So I had this cash

520
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:14.400
but wasn't going to use it in the taxi I

521
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:16.760
was just going to use the card in a taxi,

522
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.599
so I paid the card. I say, I tried it twice,

523
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:23.960
didn't work. It turns out it was the machine that

524
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:27.519
was Faulty're not me. And I said, look, I literally

525
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:31.599
just got paid yesterday and there's enough money in there.

526
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:34.480
And I showed him. I like, look on my phone

527
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.559
and I said, oh, is that all you got? I said,

528
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:42.360
come on, start's rude. He said, you're rude. And he said,

529
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:44.199
are you going to keep saying that when anyone says

530
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:47.719
you're rude and you say you're rude? Is that you've

531
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.000
been doing that for seven years? Can't you try something different?

532
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:58.280
I said, I'm always trying different things always. I mean,

533
00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:01.440
I'm going to talk about scraws again, and minute, do

534
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:04.159
you mean a game? Okay, not a game, but I

535
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:06.719
haven't talked about squirrels for a while, and I was

536
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:09.039
going to talk about squirrels and that was perhaps going

537
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:15.119
to be my new thing. What a new thing about squirrels?

538
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:18.760
What is it? Then? I said, well, I can't tell

539
00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:22.480
you now. That's going to ruin it for everyone. I

540
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:28.880
wanted to be a surprise, okay, or is it a story?

541
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:32.440
Is it a pun is it a joke? What's the story?

542
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.480
It's just a little story, but it's something that will

543
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:41.800
delight your world once you hear it. He said, really, well,

544
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:45.679
told me now, and then I said no, no. So

545
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:48.800
I paid him the cash, got out and I ran

546
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:52.840
home because I just thought he was going to chase

547
00:44:52.880 --> 00:45:01.159
me until I told him what the story was. And

548
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:08.679
the next day, right, I get into a taxi, I

549
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:14.400
try and use the the card debit card. I don't

550
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:17.639
have any credit cards but a debit card, and then

551
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:24.599
declined it again. I'm thinking what so I paid cash.

552
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:29.400
I go into on the way. Yeah. I go into

553
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:38.079
the petrol station. It declines. It declines my card and

554
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:46.159
I put it in the code, still declines it. I

555
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:55.440
go to the machine outside declines. Luckily I got my

556
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:58.960
card back. It didn't steal my card. Start paid by

557
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:02.360
cash in in the petro station because only to get

558
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:07.320
a couple of drinks or something. It wasn't anything big,

559
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:11.519
and I'm thinking, wow, this is not good. I get

560
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:15.239
to the hospital, I go into Costas to buy some coffee,

561
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:20.079
one for I think I might got one myself. The

562
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:24.880
thing is, I don't drink coffee very much, and I

563
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.400
realized now why I can't drink coffee. It makes me

564
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:32.440
feel unwell. But I used to drink coffee. I used

565
00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:34.039
to have well, there was a time when I used

566
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:42.480
to drink coffee, like really regularly, multiple times a day.

567
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:49.440
And even going back many years, I've been on and

568
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.639
off the coffee. I've gone years about drinking coffee, and

569
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.039
then i go period when I'm just drinking it a lot.

570
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:02.880
I can't drink it really anymore and makes you feel ill,

571
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:06.039
give him palpitations and stuff. It's just a bit too much.

572
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:18.519
So anyway, I got this coffee. I think I got

573
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:21.840
two cups of coffee because I thought I'll treat myself.

574
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:28.039
I'm getting him a coffee. I think it was a

575
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:30.239
bit of a cloudy day that day because this was

576
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.960
during when Uncle Sausages first went to hospital. It was

577
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:41.199
probably the hottest week on record in this country. Ever,

578
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:49.239
it was not really really hot, you know, just really

579
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:55.400
hot on those days. We didn't have coffee, or he

580
00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:01.199
didn't have coffee, but he did have air conditioning in

581
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:07.000
his ward. It wasn't like a proper air conditioning. It's

582
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.840
one of those things where they stick a big tube

583
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:12.440
out of the window. One of those things. That's what

584
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:14.719
I mean. It wasn't in built to the structure of

585
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:18.320
the building, That's what I mean. It did the job, definitely,

586
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:24.679
and if anything, they're probably better because they're dealing with

587
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.119
direct air, so you're not just spreading all around the

588
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:31.400
entire building, which I think is probably a good idea

589
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:35.599
for a hospital not to have air conditioning. Spreading the

590
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:39.400
air from one ward to another doesn't seem like a

591
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:43.079
very good idea generally, if I think about it. Not

592
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:52.440
that I'm an expert on ward air. So I've got

593
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:56.039
small bottles of water delivered today, so I've now got

594
00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:02.880
one two through for I found seven packs of twelve

595
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.760
is it twelve or six? Possibly seven packs of six,

596
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:13.440
I don't know, So I'm really and I've got some

597
00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:22.199
more face wipes, some more What else did I get?

598
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:28.079
Because I'm being stocking up for the rest of the year,

599
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:35.320
and I'm quite pleased with how it's gone, because okay,

600
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:38.719
it's not food, and the closest thing to anything I've

601
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:43.239
got there that's food. What water is the most important

602
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:46.440
thing in the world, isn't it to have? But apart

603
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:50.000
from okay, most of it's not going to be going

604
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:54.480
into my mouth other than the water and the tea bacs.

605
00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:57.760
But I mean I eat the tea bacs. I mean,

606
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.519
you know, for tea. And I've got enough to to

607
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:03.000
last me for the rest of the year as well,

608
00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:09.280
so that's good. But everything else is just like mouth washed, toothpaste, deodrin,

609
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:22.840
and toilet paper, washing up liquid. I'm just trying to think.

610
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:29.760
I've also got quite a few Yeah, I got quite

611
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:37.199
a few boxes of cereal now, so I've got like

612
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:42.199
five or six boxes of ready bread, about six boxes

613
00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:50.000
of Mooseley, So you know, it's just getting stocked up

614
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:55.840
ready so I can It wasn't really about getting stocked

615
00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:58.320
up on food, but that is. That's food, isn't it.

616
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:03.719
But it's definitely going to be handy because if I

617
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:08.639
suddenly didn't have a penny, I can still eat. I've

618
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:11.639
got my breakfast cereal I can have that. I've got water,

619
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:14.639
I've got you know, so I've got the bear of centrals.

620
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:17.639
I'm not going to run out of toilet paper anytime soon.

621
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:23.079
The only thing that I need more of is shampoo.

622
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:32.840
Don't laugh when I get in a shower. I still

623
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:38.639
shampooed my hair twice. I do do you know people

624
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:41.159
always you know, people always looking those kind of people

625
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:46.119
are always looking for a blame, always looking for a

626
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:49.000
reason to blame. You know, it's because of that, it's

627
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.400
because you do this, because you do that. They are

628
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:53.800
the ones that be thinking it's because you're a bauck.

629
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:56.880
Your shampoo your hair twice a day, that's why. That's

630
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:02.119
why it's falling out. It's not why. Trust me, I've

631
00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:05.639
gone periods, well, I've not washed my hair for periods

632
00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:08.000
of time and it's still fall now. It's not because

633
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.440
of that. Besides, I've had a shaven head most of

634
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:19.159
my life. Really, I don't shampoo my hair. When I've

635
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.480
got a shaven head. I might give it a little

636
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.920
bit of shampoo just but that's it, just for the scalp.

637
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:32.760
But I I don't have to do much when it's shaven.

638
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.400
And my hair has been really really short or shaven

639
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:44.719
most of the time since two thousand and two. And

640
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:48.599
there's been periods when it's been really long and bushy,

641
00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:53.440
but generally that's when I look baldest. It's when it's long,

642
00:52:55.280 --> 00:53:00.000
that's when you can see the big gaps between follicles.

643
00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:09.079
It really stands out. Wow, it's almost like a I

644
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.960
it was so it was so frizzy and long. I

645
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:17.760
remember my friend Luke. He said, hold on a second.

646
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.000
I said, Well, he just walked over to me and

647
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:25.280
he parted because I used to have my hair kind

648
00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:29.079
of back but sort of standing up. He didn't like it.

649
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:32.920
He said, just shave it off. I said no. I said,

650
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:36.960
you're just jealous because I've got hair. They didn't like

651
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.480
that because he was border than me. That's why I

652
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:43.159
said it. Anyway, he came and I said, wait a second.

653
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:48.360
The thing is he suited being bored. That's the problem.

654
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:51.440
He looked good, he would it didn't matter if he

655
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:54.000
had hair or not hair. He looked good. It was

656
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:56.840
a good looking bloke. And he had the right face

657
00:53:56.880 --> 00:54:05.760
structure for being bald. I don't have. Yeah, I don't

658
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:12.239
have the right face for balderedness. It's not fair. Anyway,

659
00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:14.559
he came up to me and he said, i'd stay still.

660
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:19.920
I thought there was a spider in my hair. That's

661
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:23.000
what I thought, like a little money spider. Because he

662
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:28.280
was very superstitious and he's you know, apparently if you

663
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:34.360
get a money spider, you was it. You don't you

664
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:36.960
like put it you did you swing it around your

665
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.159
head twice or something and then money will come into

666
00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:47.360
your life. Yeah, he's one of these people that used

667
00:54:47.360 --> 00:55:02.119
to salute magpies. Seriously. He once said to me, right, okay,

668
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:06.519
oh don't because I think my hair was I grew

669
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:09.400
my hair, really it was. It was really out of control.

670
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:13.800
And he said, I don't want it. We'll god go out.

671
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:16.199
I said, because you want to go to the petro station.

672
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:19.840
He said, kind of do something with your hair. Said

673
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:22.119
what he said? I don't want to see in public

674
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:26.719
with you like that? All right, So he was embarrassed

675
00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:33.599
by me. So on the main road, all these cars

676
00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:36.360
going past, he's worried about me. I think I'm wearing

677
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:39.119
a hat just to cover my hair up. What does

678
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:46.639
he do? He stops and start He salutes a bird.

679
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:49.559
What did I call him? Not pigeons? The ones that

680
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:57.679
steal stuff. He actually salutes one of them. And he's

681
00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:06.239
worried about embarrassing me. And I said, you're embarrassing. I said,

682
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:11.920
that was embarrassing my hair. You're you're you're saluting magpies

683
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.239
while there's traffic, as people on the bus going past

684
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:21.320
looking at us, we're looking at you and he said,

685
00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:27.360
well it, what's weird about saluting about a magpie? Well,

686
00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:32.840
there's two things. First of all, you're saluting a magpie

687
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:35.719
in itself. That's weird. And it's a kind of salute

688
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:41.679
you were doing. No, no, dumb jackie. So that's been

689
00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:45.360
illegal for seventy years, that kind of salute. So yeah, no,

690
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:48.800
I think, oh, because he walked up to me. So

691
00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:52.800
I'm sitting here and he said, wait a second, and

692
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:54.880
I think he's a lot of money spider or something

693
00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:58.599
so or because it was in the summer, I thought

694
00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:03.239
maybe something that got the he pied my hair. He said,

695
00:57:03.239 --> 00:57:06.719
I can't believe it what I found. I thought, here

696
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:10.880
he goes, he's gonna make some joke about you know,

697
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:16.880
he's Daddy long leg or something, you know. And he said,

698
00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:22.079
I've just discovered a new rainforest tribe in your hair

699
00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:25.360
and have made up like this whole and he was

700
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:28.400
going on about how they'd like, you know, build this

701
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:37.840
new little settlement on my bald patch, very very rude,

702
00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:41.280
and I thought, this is ridiculous, the weird thing. But

703
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:46.559
then right get this, I'm sitting here, the smoke alum

704
00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:50.320
goes off. I'm like, why is the smoke alarm gone off.

705
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:57.079
I'm not cooked anything. It's weird. I go out. I

706
00:57:57.119 --> 00:57:59.800
could I turn it off? I had to put a stick.

707
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:02.480
I'm not tall enough to reach it, but Luke was

708
00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:05.360
tall enough. So I did it a couple of times

709
00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:08.039
and I was like, he kept coming back on again.

710
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:09.639
So I called him up and said, can you have

711
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:15.480
a look at my fire alarm? My smoke alarm? Because

712
00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:17.559
it was quite good with stuff like that. The way

713
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.679
I was thinking is just take the thing off, disconnect

714
00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:23.480
it or see if it needs new batteries or something

715
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:26.920
like that. Because this is I can't. It's like whew, well,

716
00:58:27.199 --> 00:58:33.280
well continuously he came up and I said, look, well

717
00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:35.440
if the first thing he said is for the full

718
00:58:36.199 --> 00:58:38.960
first thing he said, is it's a smoke alarm. I said,

719
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:41.559
I know, I know what it is. I can I

720
00:58:41.559 --> 00:58:45.280
can hear it. He said all right. I said, well,

721
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:47.719
that's why I called you up to help me with that,

722
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:50.000
because I don't know what to do with it. He

723
00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:53.159
suddenly tried turning it off. There's a button you press.

724
00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:56.800
I said, I know there's a button. I have done that.

725
00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:02.000
I've used the broom handle, I said. He said, well

726
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:06.239
do I use the mop handle. I said, jay Z's

727
00:59:06.280 --> 00:59:09.440
lost it. Oh that's good. The way I kind of

728
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:15.760
connected it back to earlier anyway, Beyonce is fuman fuman

729
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.480
and furious. And he said what I said, don't worry

730
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:23.800
about it? And I said, can you sort it out?

731
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:28.119
He said, all right. He turned it off. He just

732
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.199
like pressed it. Because he was a lot taller than me,

733
00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:34.159
he was about nine foot tall. He bent, he had

734
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:40.840
to bend down to press it. And he came on

735
00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:43.360
again and he said, well, you've got something. Obviously you've

736
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:46.800
got something setting it off. Are you cooking something? And

737
00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:49.920
I said no, and he opened his know nothing. He

738
00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:54.599
looked at the kitchen and nothing. He looked in the bathroom.

739
00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:56.559
I said, I don't cook in the bathroom, do I?

740
00:59:57.599 --> 01:00:01.280
He said, I don't know? With you? Just what does

741
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:05.880
that mean? That it doesn't matter? But you know, you

742
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:14.960
do some weird things sometimes, Jay, It's okay. And because

743
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:16.480
I just turned my back on him, I'm like, I

744
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:18.960
don't what to do next. The alarm goes off again

745
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:26.119
and he's like, presses a button. At this point he

746
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:31.559
starts laughing and pointing at me, which is a little

747
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:37.960
bit rude. And I said, were you laughing? And he

748
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.079
couldn't stop laughing. He's like he couldn't talk, he was

749
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:44.480
laughing so much. I said, why are you laughing? He said,

750
01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:48.320
I've just seen where the smoke's coming from. I said,

751
01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:52.079
what he said, you'd like a little tribe on your

752
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:57.639
board patch. They just started a fire. They're having a

753
01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:06.519
little bonfire, having a big cookout or something. That's when

754
01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:11.039
I knew perhaps I needed to shave my head because

755
01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:19.960
it's I think it's bad right, because I actually at

756
01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:24.239
the hospital. There was an emergency. Because this was in

757
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:27.960
the summer, there's lots of emergencies, I'm sure, but there

758
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.960
was a serious thing. And the helicopter came down. Everyone

759
01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:34.800
was watching looking at the sky pe. Everyone as like

760
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:42.519
a an ambulance, emergency ambulance somewhere there. It is ambulance,

761
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:49.280
helicopter ambulance is that what they call them. So it's coming,

762
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:52.559
it's like coming down. Everyone had their phones out looking

763
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:57.320
at everything, and they were looking at that up in

764
01:01:57.360 --> 01:02:00.239
the sky and I'm looking at thinking, okay, well this

765
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:05.159
is interesting. I've never seen helicopter. I've seen one land

766
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:09.199
in the field a couple of times, but I've never

767
01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:14.280
seen one land at the actual hospital, and they're all

768
01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:18.599
looking up with their phones, and I'm thinking of just

769
01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:21.440
like coming, you're seeing a helicopter before why And I'm

770
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:25.599
sure the people getting out of the helicopter don't want

771
01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:31.840
to be filmed. They don't want you all staring at them.

772
01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:36.519
And I kind of mumbled that, and suddenly one person

773
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:41.760
points their phone at me, and another person points their

774
01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:45.280
phone at me, and I got about fifteen people pointing

775
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:47.960
their phone at me, and I'm thinking I said that

776
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:54.480
too loud, and I I said, I didn't know what

777
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:58.119
to say. I was a bit embarrassed. Well, it turned

778
01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:02.039
out what actually happened, and they didn't hear me say that.

779
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.760
It turned out that helicopter was trying to land on

780
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:11.840
my ball patch. That was very long winded, wasn't it.

781
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:19.920
I think if I've made it shorter, me, Ah, there,

782
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:23.079
I don't I do. I don't do short, really did I.

783
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:26.360
Everything I do is long winded. It's kind of supposed

784
01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:32.800
to be. So I get I get there early to

785
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:39.679
the hot to the farewell ceremony, and I see these squirrels.

786
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:46.360
So there's this whole green area like trees and shrubbery

787
01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:52.679
and flowers and it's really lovely. I mean, it make

788
01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:57.719
a lovely garden to walk around in. You know, if

789
01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:01.159
I was in a if I was in a residential

790
01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:05.400
care home or something in my older years, that's something

791
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:11.239
quite like to walk around because it's it's nature, but

792
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:17.079
it's contained. It's not huge, but it's definitely big enough

793
01:04:17.079 --> 01:04:19.239
to go for a nice walk. You kind of go

794
01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:28.400
in a circle. And having a cemetery there'd be quite handy,

795
01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:32.920
wouldn't it as well? Save traveling. So but I'm walking

796
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:36.559
around and I see these two things. I'm huge and rustling,

797
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:38.519
and I'm trying to figure out where it's coming from.

798
01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:42.000
Now you already know it's coming from the squirrels because

799
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:44.800
I mentioned the squirrels too soon, didn't I. But let's

800
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:49.599
forget that I mentioned the squirrels. Let's just it erased that.

801
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:57.119
So I'm walking through this like covering, and it was

802
01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:00.719
like a wooden structure that was built and it looks

803
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:06.480
like it's being built to commemorate a specific person. And

804
01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:08.639
so it's a lovely little structure. I think there might

805
01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:12.199
be some seats in there. So walking through, they're really

806
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:17.679
really being careful with my feeting, my feeting, my footing

807
01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:21.039
my walking, trying to be calm and quiet, That's what

808
01:05:21.079 --> 01:05:25.039
I'm trying to say. And I'm not sure what I'm

809
01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:26.960
gonna I'm gonna turn in the corner. I don't know

810
01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:30.400
what I'm going to see. Now, you know, it's squirrels.

811
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:32.639
So I don't know why I'm even going through this

812
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:36.639
part of the story. But anyway I turn around, I'm

813
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:42.199
looking and thinking, I wonder if it's another gardener. I

814
01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:46.840
wonder if someone asleep. I don't know. I don't when

815
01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:53.199
I say asleep, not buried, and not someone trying to

816
01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:56.599
dig themselves out noly like that. It's not zombies, but

817
01:05:56.679 --> 01:06:02.239
I wondered, and I thought, maybe it's someone pitched a

818
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:06.519
tent and they're sleeping there. And I thought, I don't

819
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:10.280
want to disturb them. If they are. It does look

820
01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:13.119
like somewhere that maybe someone would climb over the fence

821
01:06:13.639 --> 01:06:18.159
set a tent up because it's quite. It's quite. It's

822
01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:26.440
quite quiet and secluded. But I imagine they'd be asked

823
01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:33.719
to leave, you know, if there was seen during the day.

824
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:36.920
I thought, maybe it's birds. I mean, you know, it's

825
01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:38.920
squirrels or I don't know why I'm going for all

826
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:44.880
the different particular what it might have been. It might

827
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:49.199
have been a ufl No. Anyway, I turned around and

828
01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:53.719
I see the squirrels running along the grass, and because

829
01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:56.239
with nearly in autumn, there's quite a few leaves on

830
01:06:56.320 --> 01:07:01.960
the ground already, and a lot of the fruits dropping

831
01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:05.079
off the trees, the nuts off the hazel nut trees.

832
01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:10.000
And I think they have hazel nuts, don't they? And

833
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:12.960
you know different things like that. So I see these

834
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:16.000
things running across the ground and I'm thinking what they

835
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:20.199
are that we all know as squirrels? But there were

836
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:26.719
gray squirrels. Now, I don't know. I think I'm correct

837
01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:35.239
in saying that in England, No is it a gray squirrels?

838
01:07:36.239 --> 01:07:40.000
Is it the red squirrels that we don't see anymore much? Anyway,

839
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:46.599
these were gray squirrels. And they really matched the tree

840
01:07:46.639 --> 01:07:48.559
that they were climbing up and down. But they were

841
01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:52.800
climbing up and down backwards, like climbing down the tree forward.

842
01:07:55.400 --> 01:08:01.000
It's like how I like going up and said, how

843
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:03.599
do you do that? But I suppose the answer would

844
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:05.519
be where you need to be a squirrel, mate, don't

845
01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:09.119
you You need to be a squirrel. You can't do

846
01:08:09.239 --> 01:08:14.480
this in the same way as I can't walk around in.

847
01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:19.720
Then weird shoes are yours? I said, But shoes aren't weird.

848
01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:24.159
What's weird about them? They just laughed and ran off.

849
01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:28.520
Sometimes that's the worst insult, isn't it, When you don't

850
01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:32.640
get an explanation, but it doesn't seem any logic behind

851
01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:38.960
the insult. So if someone laughs at my pink crocs, okay,

852
01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:43.880
fair enough. Maybe to some people, bright pink crocs look

853
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:50.079
like a weird thing for an adult male to be

854
01:08:50.560 --> 01:08:57.239
a very young, handsome, particularly sexy adult male like myself,

855
01:08:57.560 --> 01:09:05.319
to be wearing in public. But I happen to like

856
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:10.920
the color pink. I do. I like pink. When I

857
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:16.039
was in my thirties, early thirties, what about thirty four,

858
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:22.439
I was walking around in pink and white like pastor

859
01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:27.960
kind of pink and white like pink tops, almost daring

860
01:09:28.079 --> 01:09:31.039
someone to say something, which is a bit silly, really,

861
01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:39.279
But it's like I looked awful. I really did, because

862
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:42.039
because I shaved my head and there's a picture of

863
01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:44.800
me in the newspaper when I was doing the free

864
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:51.159
paymently service in two thousand and six, I looked really bad,

865
01:09:53.520 --> 01:09:59.720
you know. I wasn't because I'd gone from being slim

866
01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:03.960
to putting a bit more weight on because in two yeah,

867
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:08.119
two thousand and four, I lost weight. Two thousand and five,

868
01:10:08.359 --> 01:10:11.439
two thousand and six, I put the weight back on,

869
01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:20.439
so I did not have a six pack. So the

870
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:22.279
old joker, I don't have a six pack, I now

871
01:10:22.319 --> 01:10:26.560
have a keg something like that. I had a whole

872
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:37.399
pub and I just I had a degree of confidence

873
01:10:40.239 --> 01:10:46.079
for no reason. I was like, well, you know what,

874
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:48.640
I'm just going to I'm going to wear some nice clothes,

875
01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:54.560
but at the same time, I'm going to look ridiculous

876
01:10:55.720 --> 01:11:00.760
and I'm not going to care. And some of the

877
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:05.760
stuff I wore wasn't Maybe it was. It might have

878
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:11.119
been too young for me even then. I mean, I'm

879
01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:13.319
not talking about I wasn't walking around in a school uniform,

880
01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:16.960
but it might have been. Maybe what I was. I've

881
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:23.760
never been. I've never been particularly I've never I would say,

882
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:26.279
and I'm not saying this in a negative way, but

883
01:11:26.399 --> 01:11:31.279
just from my experience of myself, my eye for fashion

884
01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:37.319
is a little bit short sighted. It needs glasses, you know,

885
01:11:37.760 --> 01:11:45.119
it needs a telescope. I can't really I never really

886
01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:48.119
had that. I've had a little help with fashion in

887
01:11:48.159 --> 01:11:52.000
the past, a few little like being took shopping to

888
01:11:52.039 --> 01:11:56.800
get clothes. But even then, I'm thinking, really, you want

889
01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:02.319
me to wear that? And I remember I had like

890
01:12:02.479 --> 01:12:07.479
two dates ninety five. One said to me, because I

891
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:10.079
was wearing I got so yeah, she took me shopping,

892
01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:16.000
took me shopping and bought me some clothes. And she said,

893
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:18.199
because I was always I was just to have my

894
01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:22.760
shirt hanging on the outside. But this is when I

895
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:26.279
was really slim. She said, tuck it in. Need to

896
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:29.840
tuck it in. So I started tucking it in. And

897
01:12:29.880 --> 01:12:32.760
then the next female I went a date on, went

898
01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:35.279
with a date, on, went to a date on, had

899
01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:40.119
a date with She's because I was always tucking everything in.

900
01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:43.000
From then, I'm thinking that every woman on the whole

901
01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:47.439
planet loves shirts tucked in, which is a silly way

902
01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:53.079
to think. I think it's only about ninety two. So

903
01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:56.479
this next lady I dated, she said, do us a favor.

904
01:12:56.479 --> 01:13:01.840
I said, well, I'm tuck your shirt, so I un'tucked

905
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:06.840
my shirt. Now if you do have your shirt tucked

906
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:13.319
in and don't it is a little bit, don't tuck

907
01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:20.560
it into your underpants. Because she was saying, why is

908
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:23.600
it all damn at the front. Don't worry about it.

909
01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:28.520
But oh I'm gurgling my stomachs. Girl, I had a

910
01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:38.399
fried breakfast this morning after the ceremony, went and had

911
01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:41.199
a fried breakfast. So basically the people it was there

912
01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:45.600
as me, there was more. There was more pall bearers

913
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:52.439
than there was audience members. Okay, technically technically we weren't

914
01:13:52.439 --> 01:13:56.279
audience members because it wasn't a show. Oh dear, I'm

915
01:13:56.359 --> 01:14:00.479
using the wrong words. And I did that when I

916
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:04.039
was in the hospital, kept saying, it's all about customers,

917
01:14:04.119 --> 01:14:08.079
like their patients. They're paid, They're not customers their patients.

918
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:14.319
It's like okay. So there was one, two, three, four, five, six.

919
01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:23.640
Seven of those six were carrying the the thing to

920
01:14:23.720 --> 01:14:26.760
the altar who was the older, to the figure of

921
01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:32.800
the front, ready for the sacrifice, so they want. And

922
01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:35.000
there was someone in church who was walking in chart

923
01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:41.279
in front. So there was seven of them. There was me,

924
01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:47.159
There was his old friend that he's had for years,

925
01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:51.399
his old friend's husband that he's also known, probably a

926
01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:55.479
baby as long as he's known her. And then her

927
01:14:56.000 --> 01:15:04.800
father who is like ninety four four of us seven

928
01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:09.840
people working in the church bit whatever. It is four

929
01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:14.840
of us and one of those was doing the ceremony.

930
01:15:15.800 --> 01:15:20.600
He was holding a ceremony because he's a pastor or

931
01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:31.960
I don't know whatever. So we left, went to a

932
01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:39.079
carvery and had a cook breakfast. Now here's we're all

933
01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:41.720
in a bit wrong, not wrong in a bad way.

934
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:45.279
But when she said yesterday, are all going to go

935
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:47.800
and get some breakfast afterwards? I said, cool, I'm up

936
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:53.119
for that. So it gave me lyft to there. I

937
01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:55.319
gave me left home as well, which is lovely. But

938
01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:58.520
we went to this place and I'm thinking, good, we'll

939
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:02.279
just order a breakfast and they'll bring us to breakfast.

940
01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:08.880
But no, it was self service. Now I didn't realize this.

941
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:13.680
So I go in and the first thing we do

942
01:16:13.800 --> 01:16:18.960
is just go to the bar and order some drinks.

943
01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:22.880
And I said, I think I said a coke please,

944
01:16:23.439 --> 01:16:25.560
And I think two of us had cokes. Two of

945
01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:28.800
us had lemonades or something like that, or fruit juice.

946
01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:34.680
I forget, and the lady behind the camera said, yeah,

947
01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:40.119
it's all you can refeel. I said, okay, I didn't

948
01:16:40.199 --> 01:16:44.439
like that idea. I wanted a bottle. I wanted something

949
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:46.520
from behind the bar. I didn't want to have to

950
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:50.159
walk over there and get it. I felt lazy. I

951
01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:56.359
felt particularly lazy. Plus I didn't want to walk around

952
01:16:57.039 --> 01:17:00.159
when other people were eating. I just wanted to it

953
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.039
down at the table and just sort of stay there

954
01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:09.079
until we left, walking around like it's my new living

955
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:13.199
room or something. You know, it's all these people doing

956
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:19.359
in my home. So I thought, it's what all you

957
01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:22.159
can be feel? Yeah, all you can re feel like, well,

958
01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:26.079
in no world am I going to drink more than

959
01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:33.119
one pint of coke pretty much in a day. I

960
01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:35.880
don't drink coke anymore. It's like I have a little bit.

961
01:17:37.760 --> 01:17:41.640
And I thought, I treat myself. And then she and

962
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:45.119
then she said, okay, fair enough. She gave me a glass,

963
01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:52.319
and then someone mentioned, yeah, that it's over there. It's

964
01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:58.840
the pepsi. I said, Pepsi. That's not coke, is it?

965
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:01.880
And she said what I mean? This is someone that

966
01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:05.159
works beyond the bar telling me I asked for coke,

967
01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:08.359
and she points me towards a pepsi machine. I was like, no,

968
01:18:09.880 --> 01:18:15.039
I didn't want PEPSI. I wanted coke. I'm terrible and

969
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:22.439
I I am so precious, And I said, I didn't really,

970
01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:25.119
I'm not really a big fan of PEPSI I'll have

971
01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:27.279
it if there's nothing else. But I said, if you've

972
01:18:27.319 --> 01:18:30.039
got coke beyond the bar, she said, we've got them bottles,

973
01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:33.039
not on tap. I said, could I have a bottle please?

974
01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:38.279
She said okay, and the bloke next to me, the

975
01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:41.159
other what's her name is, father, said I'll have a

976
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:44.520
bottle as well. See he clearly also didn't fancy going

977
01:18:44.600 --> 01:18:48.359
up and waited in a queue to get his you know,

978
01:18:48.520 --> 01:18:53.000
refill law to get that. So we got a bottle each.

979
01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:57.439
As she gets the glasses, as she starts putting ice

980
01:18:57.560 --> 01:19:00.680
in the glass, I said, no ice please. I really

981
01:19:00.760 --> 01:19:03.399
felt like I was being one of those annoying customers,

982
01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:07.239
and I genuinely wasn't trying to be annoying. If I

983
01:19:07.399 --> 01:19:10.840
told her that, I said to it, I hope when

984
01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:13.880
everyone left, and when I said I wasn't trying to

985
01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:16.359
be awkward, then I just she said, I don't worry.

986
01:19:17.800 --> 01:19:23.880
She said I wasn't listening anyway. I said okay, But

987
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:27.479
again the man actually said I know I should be either,

988
01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:31.479
So she seemed to get help with that. That the

989
01:19:31.560 --> 01:19:36.840
lady beyond the bar, I don't know. I mean it was,

990
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:38.600
you know, it's quite a nice day. I don't know

991
01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:42.439
if it's just standard to have ice, but I never,

992
01:19:42.960 --> 01:19:47.119
and I do mean never have ice in my drinks ever.

993
01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:52.359
It's just something I've learned, not since I was like

994
01:19:52.560 --> 01:19:55.279
in my twenties. It's just one of the things I

995
01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:58.119
don't know. I don't They're the same way. I don't

996
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:03.119
drink tab water. I was a bottled water. It's one

997
01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:09.399
of my little idiosyncrasies. Maybe maybe baby, maybe baby a heavy.

998
01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:16.079
So then all right, I'm thinking, okay, well great, where's

999
01:20:16.119 --> 01:20:22.439
the menu. There's no menu? What do you mean? So

1000
01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.439
I'll take the drinks down, it would put them on

1001
01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:29.079
the tables. She said, there's no menu. You just go

1002
01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:38.479
and help yourself. Really self service? What's next? Do I

1003
01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:40.439
have to actually cut the food up myself and put

1004
01:20:40.439 --> 01:20:43.600
it in my own mouth? I was like, what's going

1005
01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:47.319
on here? The world's changing? Baby? I mean, I know

1006
01:20:47.359 --> 01:20:51.439
I don't get out much, but come on, it's I'm

1007
01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:56.199
going there. It's like, what's going self service food? I've

1008
01:20:56.319 --> 01:21:05.039
never it just uh uh yeah. Most of it was cold,

1009
01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:08.359
not cold, wasn't hot, it was kind of warm. I'm

1010
01:21:08.359 --> 01:21:10.439
not moaning. I guess I am moaning. I know, really,

1011
01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:15.039
but I had a few bits. I grabbed a sausage

1012
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:18.359
for Vinnie to bring back. He was being all grumpy

1013
01:21:18.399 --> 01:21:22.039
with me. I wonder where we get it from. He

1014
01:21:22.720 --> 01:21:24.359
is he got grumpy for me, or if I got

1015
01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:30.840
grumpy for him, I don't know. I think he was

1016
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.079
grumpy before he even got here. It's very temperamental, unlike me.

1017
01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:39.640
So I had I was lasting a queue, so I

1018
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.920
had my breakfast. I just let everyone do their thing first,

1019
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:48.760
and then I got a few bits for me, and

1020
01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:52.640
and I'm just like, okay. There was a Yorkshire pudding,

1021
01:21:54.359 --> 01:21:58.319
like a breakfast Yorkshire pudding, and I had one because

1022
01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:02.960
I don't think in my entire lifespan, I've ever eaten

1023
01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:10.840
a Yorkshire pudding with a cooked breakfast ever. And then

1024
01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:14.439
a couple came behind me, and the lady said, why

1025
01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:18.880
there a Yorkshire put in there? And he said, it's

1026
01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:23.640
a breakfast Yorkshire put it. I think he was probably

1027
01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:25.800
trying to like because he saw that I had one

1028
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:28.000
of my plate. Perhaps he was thinking, it's not just

1029
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:32.520
let's not making fun of this person, not yet, wait

1030
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:34.960
till he's gone, nor will make fun of him. They're

1031
01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:38.119
probably sitting at home now tending their kids. He's all

1032
01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:44.840
this man, Oh cooked breakfast. He only a Yorkshire put

1033
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:50.000
it on his plate. They're been talking about it for years.

1034
01:22:52.600 --> 01:22:55.960
But yeah, it was quite nice because you know it's

1035
01:22:57.359 --> 01:23:06.640
it was unusual now Yorkshire putting in some egg, very unusual.

1036
01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:15.680
So we have to dinner the breakfast rather. I'm guessing

1037
01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:21.439
at about ten o'clock, no, probably half ten, about half

1038
01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:28.439
ten we got that. I'd say half nine. Year probably

1039
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:33.960
caught past ten, half ten. I got here back here

1040
01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:43.920
before eleven, No did I Now? I think I got

1041
01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:48.640
back here about half eleven something like that. So we

1042
01:23:48.680 --> 01:23:53.319
were probably in there about an hour and we were

1043
01:23:53.359 --> 01:23:57.000
just talking about uncle sausages, and they were telling me

1044
01:23:57.039 --> 01:23:59.119
stuff that I'd not heard before, and I was telling

1045
01:23:59.119 --> 01:24:03.800
the stuff that they had not before, because I had

1046
01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:06.840
a lot more contact with him than anyone else. I

1047
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:09.239
was the only person that had regular contact with him,

1048
01:24:09.760 --> 01:24:16.399
as in face to face, because he was always when

1049
01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:18.960
it was like a little school kid, sometimes like a

1050
01:24:18.960 --> 01:24:21.720
little naughty boy, because whenever he did something that was

1051
01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:26.119
a bit I don't know, okay, it do something and

1052
01:24:26.199 --> 01:24:32.239
it's say, don't tell her. That was his the other

1053
01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:35.079
the other lady, and she looked out for him. She

1054
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:37.479
bought him, used to get him food once a month

1055
01:24:37.560 --> 01:24:42.680
and water him, and hadn't over Christmas. So she'd known

1056
01:24:42.760 --> 01:24:44.560
him for a long time, or he'd known her for

1057
01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:50.319
a long time, thirty odd years. But whenever he did

1058
01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:52.800
anything that was like that, he knew that she should

1059
01:24:52.880 --> 01:24:59.640
disapprove of. It'swhere me to secrecy. Don't tell her, she'd

1060
01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:04.279
tell me off, I'll be in trouble. It's like you're

1061
01:25:04.319 --> 01:25:06.800
seventy eight years old, which mean you'd be in trouble.

1062
01:25:07.119 --> 01:25:11.239
You can literally do pretty much anything you want and

1063
01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:14.319
get away with it, you know, within a reason. And

1064
01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:16.600
just like, oh sorry, I'm old. I didn't realize what

1065
01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:25.279
I was doing. Oh sorry, he's evening in hospital. It's like, well,

1066
01:25:26.039 --> 01:25:28.800
when something happened is that? Don't tell her, don't tell her,

1067
01:25:29.079 --> 01:25:32.560
don't tell her. It's like, what do you mean, don't

1068
01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:37.119
tell her? What she's on? Holiday's she's she's it was

1069
01:25:37.119 --> 01:25:39.680
her birthday today, and I don't want her to be upset.

1070
01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:43.359
I mean, this is when he was given some really

1071
01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:46.399
really bad news. I don't tell her. Don't let her

1072
01:25:46.399 --> 01:25:49.399
know because she's her birthday today, and I don't want

1073
01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:58.079
to ruin her birthday. So I kept my promise and

1074
01:25:58.239 --> 01:26:04.399
he told her of days later. It turns out it

1075
01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:09.199
wasn't her birthday. Her birthday was like three weeks ago,

1076
01:26:12.520 --> 01:26:15.000
and she was I think she's a little bit annoyed

1077
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:17.479
at me because I didn't tell her. But he probably

1078
01:26:17.479 --> 01:26:19.760
he'd like, he like, don't tell her if you tell

1079
01:26:19.760 --> 01:26:22.600
her or know you told her. Oh yeah, but she

1080
01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:25.600
needs to know you've he only know he'd known me

1081
01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:27.800
for ten years, but he'd known her for a lot longer.

1082
01:26:30.279 --> 01:26:33.640
And I don't tell her if you had it like

1083
01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:36.800
a bit of difficulty during the night, don't tell her.

1084
01:26:37.399 --> 01:26:44.680
It's between me and you. What in the end? I mean,

1085
01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:50.680
I say in the end. But like, after a couple

1086
01:26:50.720 --> 01:26:53.319
of weeks of this, I just decided just to tell

1087
01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:56.079
her stuff. I said, Oh, this is something else he

1088
01:26:56.119 --> 01:27:00.880
told me not to tell you. And it's because sometimes

1089
01:27:01.159 --> 01:27:04.439
she say to me, yeah, he said the same to me,

1090
01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:07.520
don't tell you. So he tell us ab both say

1091
01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:10.239
the same thing and then saying don't tell them. Don't

1092
01:27:10.279 --> 01:27:17.039
tell Jason what happened. So yeah, it's weird when I

1093
01:27:17.039 --> 01:27:22.119
talk about I do I'm missing it's such a character, really,

1094
01:27:22.760 --> 01:27:28.279
and I nearly made a podcast episode with him, and

1095
01:27:28.319 --> 01:27:32.119
he wanted to do something in the hospital, and I

1096
01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:35.319
thought it'd be good to do. But then I also

1097
01:27:35.399 --> 01:27:39.680
knew that we were going to be interrupted continuously, which

1098
01:27:39.720 --> 01:27:42.600
is not anyone's fault. It's just, you know, the hospital

1099
01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:49.880
wasn't there as a recording studio for me and him.

1100
01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:52.199
And then also I said, well, yeah, I can bring

1101
01:27:52.239 --> 01:27:55.079
a recorder in and we can do something. He said, well,

1102
01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:58.439
go home and write a script. I said, I don't.

1103
01:27:58.640 --> 01:28:01.800
I don't write scripts for these let me boy the

1104
01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:05.760
Sleep podcast. I just he said, oh, come on, put

1105
01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:08.399
your head, put your thinking head on. It's like, I'm

1106
01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:12.399
not words or gummage. Go on, you can. You can.

1107
01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.840
But it was like, really, it's almost like it was

1108
01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:22.279
in the middle of being rude and being complimentary at

1109
01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:28.319
the same time. So on one level saying pull your

1110
01:28:28.319 --> 01:28:30.840
finger out, just put a bit of effort in, but

1111
01:28:30.880 --> 01:28:34.479
at the same time saying you can do it. You can.

1112
01:28:34.560 --> 01:28:37.000
You can write a very clever script and then make

1113
01:28:37.039 --> 01:28:41.520
it funny. And it's like, that's not how I do things.

1114
01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:44.520
It has to be organic, and it has to be

1115
01:28:45.640 --> 01:28:52.520
just go with it and see what happens, and that

1116
01:28:52.720 --> 01:29:00.319
was I mean literally the last time we talked about

1117
01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:04.479
that was just before I got COVID and had to

1118
01:29:04.560 --> 01:29:06.359
have a week off, and when I came back, he

1119
01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:12.760
was asleep all the time. So I kind of just

1120
01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:15.239
wish i'd just done it. I pulled it in and

1121
01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:19.000
said to him, look, I'll just edit it or do it.

1122
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:23.159
Just talk about your life, talk about you know whatever,

1123
01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:28.960
just so that because at this point I've been talking

1124
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:33.640
about him, you know, since he since he went in there,

1125
01:29:34.039 --> 01:29:39.000
I've been talking about him, and I kind of feel

1126
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:42.439
that maybe some listeners get a sense of what he

1127
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:51.000
was like, and you know, but it'd be I think

1128
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:55.479
it'd be nice to have a voice to listen to, to

1129
01:29:55.359 --> 01:30:09.399
hear him, you know. Yeah, Oh well, how do think

1130
01:30:09.399 --> 01:30:12.880
about that? With Luke, I didn't have his voice and

1131
01:30:12.960 --> 01:30:19.159
I had one video of him with Andre always with Vinnie.

1132
01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:21.319
I don't know, but he was I think it might

1133
01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:24.199
have been Vinnie, and that he was there and he

1134
01:30:24.359 --> 01:30:26.479
was like playing with him and stuff, and I had

1135
01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:29.640
some videos of him with Andre and pictures and stuff,

1136
01:30:31.079 --> 01:30:33.199
but I didn't really have his voice on there. I

1137
01:30:33.239 --> 01:30:37.079
had nothing of his voice on. And there's a specific

1138
01:30:37.159 --> 01:30:40.880
reason for that because he didn't want He never wanted

1139
01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:43.600
to be on camera, didn't want me filming him or

1140
01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:48.119
recording him. I said to him, why don't we just

1141
01:30:48.159 --> 01:30:51.960
do a podcast, you know, one time, just like just

1142
01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:56.000
a one off. No, one hundred percent did not want

1143
01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:59.520
It's almost that he didn't want any record of himself

1144
01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:06.520
on any type of digital format. And it's a shame

1145
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:10.239
because it would have been nice because the thing about

1146
01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:17.199
him and Uncle Sausages when they smiled, they really smiled,

1147
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:22.560
you know, it was a it's you could say that

1148
01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:27.880
about anyone, really, couldn't, I suppose, but there was there

1149
01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:31.279
was a brightness to it. There was a real uplift

1150
01:31:32.760 --> 01:31:36.039
to their smile that was genuine. It was never fake.

1151
01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:40.279
I never saw Luke put a fake smile on the

1152
01:31:40.319 --> 01:31:44.279
whole time, and knew him and Uncle Sausages are the

1153
01:31:44.279 --> 01:31:49.079
saying you know, it didn't have to. They were never

1154
01:31:49.119 --> 01:31:51.279
in scenarios where they had to put on a fake smile.

1155
01:31:52.479 --> 01:31:55.920
So when they did smile, I mean Uncle Sosages was

1156
01:31:55.920 --> 01:31:59.359
smiling a lot because he'd loved sport. He's always excited

1157
01:31:59.359 --> 01:32:08.079
about the next sporting event. Luke, he smiled when it

1158
01:32:08.119 --> 01:32:17.039
was just genuinely a smile, if that makes sense. The

1159
01:32:17.119 --> 01:32:21.520
one thing that Uncle sausages. I noticed this when I

1160
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:25.840
was in hospital. Actually it wasn't only I noticed it,

1161
01:32:25.960 --> 01:32:28.279
probably because last year we got a lot closer than

1162
01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:37.359
last year anyway, And I noticed that when he looked

1163
01:32:37.359 --> 01:32:40.039
at me sometimes he reminded me of my Nan. His eyes.

1164
01:32:41.640 --> 01:32:43.479
He had the sort of same kind of look in

1165
01:32:43.479 --> 01:32:47.880
his eyes, like smiley eyes that my Nan had. And

1166
01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.600
I noticed that in hospital that he had he had

1167
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:57.239
that look and kept reminding me of my Nan, that

1168
01:32:57.399 --> 01:33:00.960
kind of looking up at me with that smile. The

1169
01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:04.880
eyes didn't need to be smile of his face, it's

1170
01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:14.760
his eyes were smiling. And yeah, yeah, So I had

1171
01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:20.359
my breakfast, came back, gave Viny the sausage. He didn't

1172
01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:28.600
want it. He was really grumpy. He turned his nose

1173
01:33:28.680 --> 01:33:31.359
up at it. That many things. I don't want that.

1174
01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:36.560
So I literally stole the sausage from the restaurant for him,

1175
01:33:37.079 --> 01:33:41.800
put it in a napkin to be It wasn't really stealing,

1176
01:33:41.800 --> 01:33:45.000
because I've been very loud of it, Like, I can't

1177
01:33:45.039 --> 01:33:50.279
believe I've never stole a sausage before I'd paid for

1178
01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:53.000
the sausage. I don't think it's really stealing, is it.

1179
01:33:53.560 --> 01:33:59.279
I don't think so. If you go into McDonald's and

1180
01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:05.560
you shove you got a quarter pounder with cheese, fries

1181
01:34:05.760 --> 01:34:13.439
and a McMuffin, and you shoved the McMuffin down your pants,

1182
01:34:14.560 --> 01:34:19.960
it's not steel is because you bought it already. So

1183
01:34:23.800 --> 01:34:25.840
I pulled the sausage back and he didn't want it.

1184
01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:29.760
He had the help with me. He really was grumpy

1185
01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:34.760
with me, so I had I didn't have anything to eat,

1186
01:34:34.840 --> 01:34:38.840
so I wasn't hungry at that point. I sat down

1187
01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:40.359
for a little while and then I went to bed,

1188
01:34:40.680 --> 01:34:42.520
had a idea did to go and have a lie down.

1189
01:34:43.479 --> 01:34:45.600
So he came into the bedroom me still didn't want

1190
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:49.760
a sausage because I bought the sausage into the bedroom

1191
01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:54.720
with me, and because when I go into the bedroom,

1192
01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:57.079
I take his food and his water in the bedroom

1193
01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.239
with me and I bring it back in here. So

1194
01:34:59.359 --> 01:35:01.760
wherever whatever room we're in, I make sure it's always

1195
01:35:01.800 --> 01:35:07.279
goes water on his food. And I was probably had

1196
01:35:07.279 --> 01:35:10.920
about half hour an hour little kip for about half

1197
01:35:10.960 --> 01:35:16.520
hour to an hour, maybe an hour listening to some

1198
01:35:18.560 --> 01:35:21.760
music Radio three. It's my go to at the moment.

1199
01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:30.079
A lot of classical sound music on their orchestras and

1200
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:37.039
stuff like that. And I've really kind of fallen in

1201
01:35:37.079 --> 01:35:42.279
love with Chindler's List album, the music for the movie.

1202
01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:45.560
It's something about that do Do Do Do Do Do

1203
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:50.159
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

1204
01:35:50.159 --> 01:35:56.159
Do Do Do Do Do Do do Oh. It's chips,

1205
01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:59.319
it's chips. I don't know. I can't remember what the

1206
01:35:59.319 --> 01:36:06.960
song is, but it's it's a good song. And I

1207
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:12.000
still think that bon Jovi's greatest song. While we're talking

1208
01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:14.960
about songs, bon Jovi's great song was Living on a

1209
01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:18.439
Prayer because that was out at the same time as

1210
01:36:18.479 --> 01:36:22.159
The Final Countdown by Europe. I do believe it's the

1211
01:36:22.359 --> 01:36:30.439
Final Cowdown because I used that in a joke. It's

1212
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:34.880
kind of ruined because I've said it. But when I

1213
01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:37.720
was doing my last job, they were making loads of

1214
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:42.239
redundancies and stuff like that, and that the man who

1215
01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:46.079
was representing the company, the financial company that just bought

1216
01:36:46.319 --> 01:36:48.760
the company I was working for, they didn't know what

1217
01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:50.920
they were going to do with it. They were looking

1218
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:53.359
for buyers and they just bought it for the money

1219
01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:58.039
you bought it for, the probably the building and whatever else.

1220
01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:03.159
So he said, well, we're going to try and get

1221
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:08.439
a buyer for this insurance company. We're going to be

1222
01:37:08.439 --> 01:37:10.159
splitting things up, but we're going to try and get

1223
01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:17.359
a buyer for the for the car insurance side. But

1224
01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:19.960
what we're going to do, we'll be honest with you. You know,

1225
01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:26.720
we don't know what's going to happen. And he said,

1226
01:37:27.359 --> 01:37:30.920
but we want to stay positive. We appreciate you, and

1227
01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:35.439
you know all that stuff. And he played a little

1228
01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:41.119
video like showing the company that he belonged to, because

1229
01:37:41.159 --> 01:37:44.119
they were like one of these acquisition companies, so they'd

1230
01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:47.079
buy something and sometimes they just all they do is

1231
01:37:47.119 --> 01:37:51.439
because they wanted the business, the customers, and then they

1232
01:37:51.479 --> 01:37:58.520
could just sell those customers to a different insurance company.

1233
01:37:59.119 --> 01:38:01.239
So he had this it's like little video, this is

1234
01:38:01.279 --> 01:38:04.760
what we do, and this is you know. And then

1235
01:38:04.800 --> 01:38:10.279
he said he played some music and he said, well

1236
01:38:11.039 --> 01:38:12.720
we're going to end this now, we going to end

1237
01:38:12.720 --> 01:38:16.680
this little session because they shut all the phones off

1238
01:38:16.680 --> 01:38:19.279
and everything. So it was probably about one hundred and

1239
01:38:19.279 --> 01:38:22.479
fifty of us sitting there, maybe less, I don't maybe

1240
01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:26.119
one hundred and fifty maybe one hundred, I don't know.

1241
01:38:26.159 --> 01:38:31.239
I didn't count everyone and he had this CD player

1242
01:38:31.279 --> 01:38:35.720
and he said, so we just we'll end this now

1243
01:38:35.800 --> 01:38:40.079
with a song, and what would be a suitable song

1244
01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:44.399
to end this little session with? And I shouted out

1245
01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:51.800
the final countdown and it got a good laugh because

1246
01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:54.359
it was like, you know, it was the final countdown

1247
01:38:54.399 --> 01:38:59.560
for the company, literally because I did close. He didn't

1248
01:38:59.560 --> 01:39:06.079
find it funny, and neither did my supervisor. But I

1249
01:39:06.119 --> 01:39:09.159
thought it was quite quick of me, better than mine

1250
01:39:09.239 --> 01:39:11.479
the situation. I think it was a scenario. I think

1251
01:39:11.479 --> 01:39:18.359
I was quite quick, but it was ruined by me

1252
01:39:18.399 --> 01:39:21.039
telling you right at the beginning pretty much that I

1253
01:39:21.079 --> 01:39:23.960
was going to shout out it was the final countdown,

1254
01:39:23.960 --> 01:39:27.920
because I've already mentioned it. But living on a Prayer,

1255
01:39:30.279 --> 01:39:35.279
I mean, bon Jovid did they really became absolutely massive

1256
01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:40.760
in the early nineties, didn't they like huge axe rows?

1257
01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:44.560
It was like the biggest thing in the world. But

1258
01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:49.680
I still think like a Prayer in nineteen eighty five,

1259
01:39:50.039 --> 01:39:56.600
was it still the best thing they did? So good,

1260
01:39:56.800 --> 01:40:02.560
such a great song. In fact, I don't even remember

1261
01:40:02.560 --> 01:40:11.720
anything they did in the nineties. Don't You Give Love

1262
01:40:11.760 --> 01:40:16.520
a Bad Name? That was also in the eighties, but

1263
01:40:16.600 --> 01:40:19.479
they were like a supergroup when they are absolutely massive

1264
01:40:19.479 --> 01:40:28.640
in the nineties. Huh. And then I got up, I

1265
01:40:28.680 --> 01:40:34.560
took Vinny for another wander around the park. Oh yeah,

1266
01:40:35.319 --> 01:40:39.880
that's when we're going through the field. It's a cornfield.

1267
01:40:40.000 --> 01:40:43.600
You don't like sweet corn on a cop sweet corn.

1268
01:40:43.640 --> 01:40:52.800
They're growing sweet corn. I'm talking millions of sweet corns,

1269
01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:58.319
probably hundreds of thousands of sweet corns, maybe millions, I

1270
01:40:58.319 --> 01:41:01.880
don't know, too many to count or too many for

1271
01:41:01.920 --> 01:41:05.279
me to count. And they were like four or five fields,

1272
01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:09.039
absolutely huge amounts. And I didn't know it was a

1273
01:41:09.039 --> 01:41:13.079
sweet corn. And I saw one on the floor. I said,

1274
01:41:13.119 --> 01:41:15.319
what if someone dropped a sweet corn on the floor?

1275
01:41:16.560 --> 01:41:20.720
And I saw that what it is is someone had

1276
01:41:20.760 --> 01:41:24.079
clearly just picked one off and stripped it off, and

1277
01:41:25.239 --> 01:41:29.800
it wasn't ripe, but it was definitely a sweet corner.

1278
01:41:32.960 --> 01:41:35.560
And I'm thinking how much this sweet corns cost in

1279
01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:39.359
the shop, about two pounds per sweet corn or something.

1280
01:41:41.239 --> 01:41:48.119
And I'm literally walking through a field millions of pounds

1281
01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:54.840
worth of sweet corns, and it was just really for

1282
01:41:54.880 --> 01:41:57.640
the first time, it's really weird because I've never really

1283
01:41:57.640 --> 01:42:01.800
felt that way about because I don't know much about crops.

1284
01:42:01.840 --> 01:42:04.359
I don't know much about you know what things are worth.

1285
01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:09.840
But I do like sweet corns, and I know that

1286
01:42:09.880 --> 01:42:18.159
they're not cheap, and to literally just pass thousands, I

1287
01:42:18.159 --> 01:42:21.560
can just put my hand out and touch thousands as

1288
01:42:21.560 --> 01:42:28.119
I walked up a sweet corns, and I like, hmm.

1289
01:42:32.079 --> 01:42:35.439
But I'm thinking when they're right, maybe I'll just take

1290
01:42:35.479 --> 01:42:43.119
a few for myself and maybe the rest of the

1291
01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:46.359
country and take all of them. Maybe just maybe just

1292
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:50.920
take one and see if it's if, you know, if

1293
01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:54.760
I'm able to actually eat it, and if i am,

1294
01:42:55.359 --> 01:42:57.920
then next year I'll do the same thing and just

1295
01:42:57.960 --> 01:43:02.920
maybe put a few in the free or something. I mean,

1296
01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:08.439
is it stealing. It's technically it's coming out of the earth,

1297
01:43:09.920 --> 01:43:13.800
our earth that we all share, and it's in a

1298
01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:22.119
public place. I don't know, is it It's not that

1299
01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:25.079
I want to I mean to me, is that any

1300
01:43:25.119 --> 01:43:32.239
different from just taking raspberries, you know, picking raspberries, or

1301
01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:36.319
take you know, picking bananas off a tree, or apples

1302
01:43:36.359 --> 01:43:41.119
off a tree. I mean, there's this tree, it's an

1303
01:43:41.199 --> 01:43:47.239
apple tree in the park. It's inside someone's garden, but

1304
01:43:47.279 --> 01:43:50.119
there's a fence, so half the apples are dropping on

1305
01:43:50.119 --> 01:43:55.199
the field. We're on the park every day, I'd say

1306
01:43:55.199 --> 01:44:00.880
probably at least ten fifteen to twenty apple falling down.

1307
01:44:02.279 --> 01:44:04.800
I'm exaggerating for a fact, but a good few, at

1308
01:44:04.880 --> 01:44:11.640
least probably a handful A bowl full of apples falling

1309
01:44:11.680 --> 01:44:17.439
down into the park. It's free apples. What do I do?

1310
01:44:17.520 --> 01:44:25.680
I kicked them. I kicked them. I kicked them, And

1311
01:44:25.720 --> 01:44:28.640
then I forget how to say the word kicked them

1312
01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:34.000
or the sentence I kick him along because Vinnie loves

1313
01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:39.840
chasing them and he eats them. And for some reason,

1314
01:44:39.960 --> 01:44:46.960
because they're in a tree, I kind of think, oh,

1315
01:44:47.079 --> 01:44:52.279
there's got to be something wrong with them. But the

1316
01:44:52.359 --> 01:44:55.359
fact is they're falling out of the tree because they're

1317
01:44:55.479 --> 01:45:00.880
ripe and they're ready. It's nothing's forced about the tree,

1318
01:45:01.359 --> 01:45:04.000
its not being it wasn't windy or anything. It's just

1319
01:45:04.479 --> 01:45:07.239
it's time for them to fall out. And I could

1320
01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:11.000
have literally just picked them up, brought them home and

1321
01:45:11.039 --> 01:45:15.720
eaten them, clean them off first, got with of the skin,

1322
01:45:16.439 --> 01:45:19.920
because you know, check make sure there's nothing in them.

1323
01:45:19.920 --> 01:45:26.239
But I could have had an apple. I could have

1324
01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:29.159
put more in the freeze freezer with my sweet corn.

1325
01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:33.399
Put in the freezer with a sweet corn. I must

1326
01:45:33.479 --> 01:45:41.880
have a huge freezer. I did see these these sweet corns.

1327
01:45:43.359 --> 01:45:50.399
I would say they're about ten fifty foot high, not

1328
01:45:50.439 --> 01:45:56.560
the sweet corns themselves, but the the plants really way

1329
01:45:56.720 --> 01:46:01.840
way taller than me. Maybe not fifty but probably good

1330
01:46:01.960 --> 01:46:07.720
ten foot i'd say, yeah, well taller than me. A

1331
01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:14.880
lot taller than me, and I'm eight foot. So it's

1332
01:46:15.000 --> 01:46:18.000
quite a good place for animals to sort of hang

1333
01:46:18.039 --> 01:46:20.720
out and hide. And the other day I saw a

1334
01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:24.800
bambi run through, like run right out of one and

1335
01:46:24.800 --> 01:46:27.720
then into another one out of one field and into

1336
01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:34.640
another field because they're like really close together. Made me jump,

1337
01:46:34.680 --> 01:46:47.600
it did. That's the whole story. There isn't anything else.

1338
01:46:48.600 --> 01:46:56.560
I can't see nothing else. That was everything. Sorry, sorry,

1339
01:46:57.000 --> 01:47:03.520
Then I came home again, had those deliveries. I also

1340
01:47:03.600 --> 01:47:12.640
got a few grocery deliveries between two and four, but

1341
01:47:12.720 --> 01:47:16.720
they weren't groceries. It was but it's just like bottles

1342
01:47:16.760 --> 01:47:21.159
of water, some breakfast cereals, and a couple of packets

1343
01:47:21.159 --> 01:47:27.359
of Villie's treats. No food. I mean breakfast cereal is food,

1344
01:47:27.399 --> 01:47:31.119
but no food food I got. My fridge is empty

1345
01:47:31.520 --> 01:47:34.000
apart from milk. I've got some milk as well, so

1346
01:47:34.039 --> 01:47:38.640
I was the milk some butter and some margarine and

1347
01:47:38.760 --> 01:47:41.800
half a tin of dog food. There's nothing in my fridge,

1348
01:47:44.960 --> 01:47:52.800
loads of breakfast cereal. Yeah, so what I'll do tomorrow,

1349
01:47:52.840 --> 01:47:54.720
I'm I'll have to try and get some groceries and

1350
01:47:54.800 --> 01:48:03.279
mutual food in ill figure they're out tomorrow. I could

1351
01:48:03.319 --> 01:48:07.359
get something tonight, but I don't need to. I don't

1352
01:48:07.399 --> 01:48:09.319
need to get anything. I've got enough for my breakfast

1353
01:48:09.319 --> 01:48:17.359
in the morning. Yeah, that's fine, and I have some breakfast.

1354
01:48:17.560 --> 01:48:21.039
I have a bowl of breakfast cereal now because I

1355
01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:27.039
had a cooked breakfast earlier, cooked dinner whatever, and it more.

1356
01:48:27.439 --> 01:48:35.239
I'll probably order get some I don't know. I don't

1357
01:48:35.640 --> 01:48:39.279
I'm not sure, but get a few groceries to get

1358
01:48:39.279 --> 01:48:49.640
them delivered tomorrow morning when I'm up and that and

1359
01:48:49.680 --> 01:48:51.960
then then I did this recording. And that's that's kind

1360
01:48:52.000 --> 01:48:57.560
of what I've done today. Although the council called me

1361
01:48:57.640 --> 01:49:00.239
yesterday to say have I got the key? I still

1362
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:03.479
got the key to Uncle Sausages Flat And I said yeah,

1363
01:49:03.960 --> 01:49:05.520
And I said, you're going to bring it into us

1364
01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:11.800
to the office. I said no, that's like that's going

1365
01:49:11.840 --> 01:49:14.920
to cost peoplebably forty quid to get them back. Said no,

1366
01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:18.159
I'm not not doing that. I said, you want the key,

1367
01:49:18.199 --> 01:49:21.920
come and get it, or I'd said I can do

1368
01:49:22.119 --> 01:49:24.319
I can just leave the key in the door in

1369
01:49:24.600 --> 01:49:27.640
the lock, you know, for you, so then when you

1370
01:49:27.640 --> 01:49:30.279
come around you can just let yourself in. And she

1371
01:49:30.359 --> 01:49:32.479
said no, I can't do that because someone might come

1372
01:49:32.479 --> 01:49:39.600
in and basically, what do they call it? Live there

1373
01:49:39.680 --> 01:49:45.319
for free? I said, well, it's up to you. But

1374
01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:48.720
and then she said, if you entered it, if you

1375
01:49:48.800 --> 01:49:51.800
if you cleared all the stuff out, I said no, no,

1376
01:49:53.319 --> 01:49:55.079
because I did try. And at first of all, I

1377
01:49:55.079 --> 01:49:57.399
was told that we needed to do that. So I

1378
01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:01.399
offered to help to bags stuff up put it outside,

1379
01:50:01.439 --> 01:50:06.680
and I did. I did about fifty sixty bags, and

1380
01:50:06.720 --> 01:50:09.079
then when I was a little bit unwell, I went

1381
01:50:09.119 --> 01:50:12.520
in there just and bagged up. I put about another

1382
01:50:12.560 --> 01:50:17.279
fifty bags of stuff. So I've cleared most of the

1383
01:50:17.319 --> 01:50:22.800
stuff apart from the furniture, so most of it is

1384
01:50:22.800 --> 01:50:26.199
actually bagged up. I've left about fifty bags in there,

1385
01:50:27.239 --> 01:50:30.720
and the council can come and take that. The reason

1386
01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:33.279
I didn't put those outside is because the council told

1387
01:50:33.319 --> 01:50:35.600
me I didn't need to. They said, I don't worry

1388
01:50:35.600 --> 01:50:38.840
about it, we'll sort it out. And then she calls

1389
01:50:38.880 --> 01:50:44.119
up and says, have I done it? Like no, so

1390
01:50:44.720 --> 01:50:48.520
and then the council they were here today emptying the

1391
01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:57.199
flat downstairs, and I went down. I said, I just checking.

1392
01:50:57.279 --> 01:51:01.520
Do you want the key for uncle Sausages flat? And

1393
01:51:01.560 --> 01:51:06.560
they said no. I said, I'm just asking because the

1394
01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:09.399
council phone yesterday and they said, you're going to be

1395
01:51:09.399 --> 01:51:12.560
coming around and she said no. He said, I don't

1396
01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:15.800
know anything about it. I said, okay, I don't worry.

1397
01:51:16.039 --> 01:51:20.399
So it might be a different crew that come around

1398
01:51:20.520 --> 01:51:24.600
next week or tomorrow, whenever they come, I don't know.

1399
01:51:25.359 --> 01:51:28.880
But I can't guarantee I'm going to be in It's

1400
01:51:28.920 --> 01:51:30.479
not that I go out a lot, but I might,

1401
01:51:30.720 --> 01:51:33.359
you know, I might be in bed, might be asleep.

1402
01:51:37.119 --> 01:51:42.000
I might be taking Viny to the park. So yeah,

1403
01:51:42.319 --> 01:51:46.079
it's not that I'm going to be out raving reval

1404
01:51:46.720 --> 01:51:51.800
revol tell me, tell me. I got Buddy Holly in

1405
01:51:51.840 --> 01:51:59.880
my head recently. Do you ever like sit around thinking?

1406
01:52:00.960 --> 01:52:04.840
I wonder what Buddy Holly would have done if he'd

1407
01:52:04.880 --> 01:52:12.000
been around for a long time, you know, because he

1408
01:52:12.119 --> 01:52:14.840
was young, he was like twenty two years old. I

1409
01:52:14.880 --> 01:52:19.079
think when he kind of he had his fame and

1410
01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:26.279
he was gone, and he was so prolific in such

1411
01:52:26.319 --> 01:52:30.319
a short time. Imagine what he could have accomplished between

1412
01:52:30.680 --> 01:52:39.560
by the time he got to thirty. Musically he could

1413
01:52:39.560 --> 01:52:46.399
have been I just he could have been the big

1414
01:52:46.520 --> 01:52:48.159
I mean he was big, but he could have been

1415
01:52:48.439 --> 01:52:54.159
like but you think now, I mean he'd been his Wow.

1416
01:52:55.159 --> 01:52:57.239
So he was in his early twenties, in the fifties,

1417
01:53:00.399 --> 01:53:07.600
maybe it's nineties now, I guess, but he might have

1418
01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:10.039
been a lot of starting in this one today. Have

1419
01:53:10.079 --> 01:53:13.800
you noticed that he might have been like the most

1420
01:53:13.800 --> 01:53:20.439
prolific songwriter of all time. There's a few really prolific songwriters,

1421
01:53:20.479 --> 01:53:31.560
but he might have been the number one. Wow. I remember,

1422
01:53:31.840 --> 01:53:35.680
like in the nineties, I serenaded a lady that I

1423
01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:48.000
met and I sung true Love Ways. She said, I really,

1424
01:53:49.479 --> 01:53:53.239
I said, are you I'm not going to be rude

1425
01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:58.079
to I said, I said, so, I'm never really sure

1426
01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:01.479
when a woman's turned on. And she said, you know

1427
01:54:01.520 --> 01:54:06.399
what I'm turned on? I said why? She said, well,

1428
01:54:06.479 --> 01:54:10.920
you know, if I'm enjoying, I like getting serenaded to.

1429
01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:17.479
And when I was serenaded too, that turns me on

1430
01:54:17.520 --> 01:54:21.079
more than anything in the world. I said really. She

1431
01:54:21.119 --> 01:54:26.119
said yeah, so I some true love ways to her.

1432
01:54:29.720 --> 01:54:33.479
Never saw her again after that, I mean after I

1433
01:54:33.520 --> 01:54:40.159
saund the song, she said, I get out. I thought

1434
01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:45.479
it went quite well. I saw her a few years later,

1435
01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:49.520
right because she was like on around the comedy scene,

1436
01:54:50.199 --> 01:54:56.479
and I said, do you remember that night? She said yeah.

1437
01:54:56.640 --> 01:54:58.880
I said, what did I do wrong? He said, you

1438
01:54:59.079 --> 01:55:05.199
liked body hoole and you're like being serenaded. She said yeah.

1439
01:55:05.760 --> 01:55:08.279
I said, what you didn't I sung it and then

1440
01:55:08.279 --> 01:55:11.239
you kind of didn't want me if you asked me

1441
01:55:11.279 --> 01:55:15.119
to leave, sort of straight away, and she said yeah.

1442
01:55:15.319 --> 01:55:18.199
I said, well, I'm just wondering for the future. What

1443
01:55:18.359 --> 01:55:23.039
can I have done different? She said, well, it was

1444
01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:29.720
a nice song. I said yeah. She said it was

1445
01:55:29.800 --> 01:55:32.439
sung nicely. You know, it's a song I like, and

1446
01:55:32.520 --> 01:55:36.600
it was sung nicely. I said, okay, So where did

1447
01:55:36.600 --> 01:55:44.119
I go wrong? She said the strip tease? If you

1448
01:55:44.960 --> 01:55:47.880
didn't need that. I didn't need you to be stripping

1449
01:55:47.880 --> 01:55:53.119
off while singing it. I said, I can't know what

1450
01:55:53.199 --> 01:55:57.319
strip tease is. She said, also that attitude of yours. Okay,

1451
01:55:57.359 --> 01:56:05.920
fair enough, So learn something new. I try and learn

1452
01:56:05.960 --> 01:56:08.239
something new every day, but I don't try, but I

1453
01:56:08.239 --> 01:56:11.720
think I probably do learn something new. I don't know

1454
01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:17.720
what I've learned today. I think I'm trying to learn

1455
01:56:17.760 --> 01:56:22.880
about myself. How do I tick? Why do I tick?

1456
01:56:23.039 --> 01:56:31.119
What I really feel about things? Who am I really?

1457
01:56:32.560 --> 01:56:38.800
Who am I really? Where am I going? What am

1458
01:56:38.800 --> 01:56:45.439
I doing? And why? So. On that note, this has

1459
01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:49.800
been quite a long recording, but I think I needed

1460
01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:52.039
to do a long recording because I haven't done one

1461
01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:56.600
for a while. Tomorrow I will be doing the Q

1462
01:56:56.720 --> 01:57:00.880
and A Friday, so there's still time. If you go

1463
01:57:01.000 --> 01:57:04.920
to my Facebook group, Jason Newland's Boring Group, there's a

1464
01:57:04.960 --> 01:57:11.319
link on my website you can leave me a question

1465
01:57:11.560 --> 01:57:17.000
underneath the image that I posted, which basically says, if

1466
01:57:17.000 --> 01:57:19.680
you have any questions for this week's Q and A Friday,

1467
01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:24.000
and there's a date which is the twenty ninth of August,

1468
01:57:25.640 --> 01:57:28.279
and there's a few questions already, but you're welcome to

1469
01:57:28.319 --> 01:57:34.279
add more. Ideally, I would say try and do it

1470
01:57:34.359 --> 01:57:40.600
before lunchtime UK time tomorrow, because I've got tendency of

1471
01:57:40.680 --> 01:57:48.760
donies normally in about afternoon time, sometimes the morning, generally

1472
01:57:49.199 --> 01:57:53.239
maybe afternoon because it's if it was just for like

1473
01:57:54.439 --> 01:57:57.920
half hour forty five minutes an hour. I might do

1474
01:57:57.960 --> 01:58:01.000
it in the morning, but because they longer recording the

1475
01:58:01.079 --> 01:58:04.199
Q and A Fridays, I generally I like to give

1476
01:58:04.239 --> 01:58:10.439
myself a bit of time and space. So that's me

1477
01:58:10.600 --> 01:58:15.560
done for today. Thank you for listening, and remember to

1478
01:58:15.600 --> 01:58:20.000
be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy.

1479
01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:26.399
Lots of love, bye,
